I'm going to be in the minority here, but when I hear Pagekit, I think of Apache::PageKit, also known as plain old "PageKit". See http://pagekit.org/

Re: Show HN: Pagekit – A new, modern CMS built with Symfony components
#52I'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!
There are some new CSM's out there that are growing at an amazing rate. I have been a part of the craft cms[0] community since beta and now they have their own stack overflow (stack exchange) site which was the fastest any stack exchange site has ever been put into production from user voting and participation.
I encourage everyone to check it out.

If you're into shiny new things, I'd recommend Keystone: http://keystonejs.com/ "Node.js CMS and web application platform built on Express and MongoDB." It's a pain to get going on a Windows machine, but I got it working on my Linux box inside of 10 minutes. If you're on a Mac, its probably about the same time to get up and running. It also uses Jade for templates along with Markdown.
The guys at Thinkmill recently did an amazing presentation at SydJS where they released the full source to a Keystone app project. Should be a great place for anyone starting out.
Big thanks to @bladey who put a lot of it together!

We just switched to Statamic and could not be happier. We modified it a bit so that our staging server has the admin panel enabled while still being backed by a git repo. Every save action commits and pushes to master, giving our non-technical folks a super convenient way to see their changes immediately without making a fatal mistake in production. Devs can then merge into prod after a quick review of the final changes.
Our design and workflow were largely inspired by the Asana team (http://eng.asana.com/2014/02/scaling-asana-com/) but we wanted to give our folks a fully featured admin panel instead of making them trudge through the Bitbucket/Github interface.
Edit: do not want to rain on the Pagekit parade at all...looks great so far.
Re: Show HN: Pagekit – A new, modern CMS built with Symfony components
#55With 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…
This choice is weird for a product based on Symfony, which, by default, includes the Twig engine. It means that it requires every Symfony dev (this CMS target) to maintain (at least) their brain plugged on two template engines..
Maybe the OP could explain?

#56In this era of frameworks, I'm glad to see a modern CMS pop up. Props for that.
We really didn't need another templating language though. Especially one that looks nearly identical to the blade templating language. (http://daylerees.com/codebright/blade)

http://www.concrete5.org/ is worth checking out

#58Awesome 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.
There are so many other CMS's... some of which are better than wordpress (for certain people / certain workflows / certain tasks). I'm a huge fan of Concrete5 ( http://concrete5.org ) for small- to medium- sized informational sites. Relatively easy to theme, somewhat easy to develop against, and by far the easiest page editing interface for non-technical end-users (it's all done on the front-end, not in the dashboard…
I've been fairly happy with Concrete5 as well.
Re: Show HN: Pagekit – A new, modern CMS built with Symfony components
#59Looks interesting and I will most likely give it try but when I think of a "modern" cms I think more of the approach that prismic.io and contenful are using. Decoupling the backend from the frontend and using RESTful services to tie it together is a more "modern" approach, especially when web apps are considered. I would love to see some opensource cms's that allowed me to use whatever client side framework I choose to build the frontend.

Yes, I have been keeping an eye on October CMS, it looks promising. Laravel is a great framework (I use it too, outside of my own).
