If there any marketplace were one call sell Django Cms plugins or themes which is profitable?
We have thoughts in that direction, so stay tuned :-)

I'm currently tasked with creating a new version of my company's Intranet system and have been looking into the different CMS options out there and talking over choices like SharePoint and OpenAtrium with my co-worker. Would you recommend DjangoCMS for an Intranet? I'm planning to implement collaborative content tools and a company wiki (probably going with MediaWiki) on top of keeping features we've already got, and…
We are currently developing a intranet solution for django CMS at Divio. I cannot give you a ETA yet, but should we inform you once it's available?
Would love to learn more about this...

#73Off-topic, but since CMS-related submissions come up rather scarcely nowadays: What are some promising, modern Web Content Management Systems for medium-sized sites that I should look at, especially if I like the clean, modular design of ProcessWire very much, but not its implementation (too slow even with caching enabled)? I don't care about the programming language (PHP is fine, so is anything else). What I do care…
I just set up something small-ish using Textpattern, which I hadn't touched in years (but used to do larger sites with before I found Django).
Turns out it's still quite nice and quite easily hackable (plus there's still a strong community of people developing and maintaining plugins and other add-ons for it), though not so heavy on the WYSIWYG features people seem to think are synonymous with a CMS.

Drupal 8 just dropped a couple weeks ago and will do everything you just listed out of the box. The code under the hood appears to be vastly more pleasant and interesting to work with than any other PHP CMS I know of, including previous versions of Drupal.
Indeed, Drupal 8 is first and foremost a data modeling tool. It's for structured content , not pages . It allows you to reuse that structured content in many ways, everywhere. (Django CMS as demonstrated in the video is purely about building pages, which makes it — if I'm being a bit harsh — just a glorified MS FrontPage.)
Why am I being downvoted?

Probably because your comment is incorrect. Django-CMS is almost exclusively structured content, and since it's essentially an extension of Django, you can use standard django models within the CMS.
If you want more of a page based CMS, check out wagtail. Also pretty awesome, although in very different ways.

Have a look at Odoo website builder and eCommerce:

* https://www.odoo.com/page/website-builder
It is very flexible to build dynamic pages and you can build pages like you want without development. (but you will have to modify the HTML/QWeb template)

Wordpress + the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin can do this pretty easily for even a non-technical user. Although doing detailed code customization on the backend is a bit of a mess. If you want a lot of logic / custom code, I'd use django-cms!
Along with ACF, a must-have wordpress plugin is Timber: https://github.com/jarednova/timber/wiki Basically gives you views and controllers, you fetch posts in php files, manipulate them, then render out twig views. You can even add custom routes: https://github.com/jarednova/timber/wiki/Routes . If I want to decouple WP and the frontend, I just add routes that return JSON, same as Express or any other modern framewor…
As much as I like the idea behind Timber, I'd not recommend using it for a production site. It has some current security issues that the devs seem to both not understand AND to not be much concerned with (a frightening combination). Don't want to get too specific, but searching their github issues for reports on the usual suspects (SQL injection, etc) should show you all you need you know.
With the coming of WordPress REST, I'm hopeful that a group more secure minded starts working on WP templates.
Re: Django CMS 3.2 released
#78I didn't get in yet, but this looks very professional from the pics. Is there any chance your admin forms could get into django proper? The stock admin, while functional, doesn't look nearly as nice. Yes, I'm aware of the new theme, but there's a lot more to it than just being flat.
Without (yet) looking at the CMS admin I can tell you it likely won't. The reason the new flat theme was accepted is because it was css-only changes. Lots of people have customised their admin, so we can't just chop and change the HTML without breaking backwards compatibility.
Releasing a theoretical django-cms-admin as a standalone package might be a good idea, so you could at least take that bit if you don't want the entire CMS.

#79I'd love to hear from anyone who's migrated or moved from Drupal to Django CMS. We have around 100 Drupal CMS' that we've been working with for years and we can't wait to get rid of them to something more modern, even Drupal 8 is a massive, to late - to little disappointment. Any stories?
Re: Django CMS 3.2 released
#80Looks nice! I'm looking forward to get the new version deployed for my website soon.
