Off-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…

Take a look at Wagtail.io . It's newish but seems to be getting a good amount of traction by some pretty interesting customers. Written in Python/Django FWIW.

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?

Slight side-track, but I'd be interested in your "pre-deployment" process. Could you enlighten me, or point me somewhere I could find out? Thanks.

It works just like normal site deployment (prepare containers with the site code and a database, etc, push it to cloud servers) but unlikely customer sites that are controlled by, well, customers, the demo is always the same site, so instead of making users wait for a deploy to start and finish when they request a demo, we deploy a bunch of demo sites in the background and when the user asks for a demo they just get…

I 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 t…

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.
