I've been looking forward to someone publishing a new CMS. WordPress is great, but I've been wanting something new and fresh. I got the alpha installed and it looks good but there is still work to do, but I like what I see. Keep it up!

#12Awesome project, being a PHP developer, I was waiting for someone to launch something that could take some share away from Wordpress. I dig Ghost, and their initiative, but I was not thrilled with it going on Node.js as it'll not be adapted by Wordpress users.

I'm wondering if it could be possible to rewrite WordPress using modern PHP Aires approaches and keep some kind of Finnmark compatibility layer with its plugins temporarily until they get updated to the new APIs. Will be a lot of work but for a project this popular it might be worth it.

#144 redesigns? That seems ...high? Maybe they're just being playful but I wonder what the explanation behind the redesigns was.

#15With the explosions of frameworks lately, it's refreshing to see that people are still working on CMSs. It's interesting, though, why they made their own templating language rather than use an existing one (twig, for example, is used by OctoberCMS and there's even a Wordpress plugin.)
Also in terms of clients, it'd probably be useful to have a wysiwyg editor or even just editable sub-fields that you can set for each page. Right now there's no clear-cut advantage for using this over, say, a static-page generator (except for the ORM, I guess).

#16I was excited until I got to this:
> Razr Template Engine
Even if you don't like Twig (why wouldn't you?) there are at least a dozen template engines already.
I wonder in what other places did NIH take over?

#17I'm confused of the title compared to the description of Pagekit on the website. Is it supposed to be a CMS or an application framework?

You can also use Twig as template engine. Not a big deal.

#19For those who don't know, the next version of Drupal (Drupal 8) has incorporated components of the Symfony project into the core CMS code.

It's still called Drupal, but in many ways it is sounding like a new CMS compared to Drupal 7.
