Features
So, what, exactly, can HydrogenCMS do? Both, the wonderful, and not so great, answer is, "Just enough".
HydrogenCMS was designed to be as light and simple as possible. Right now, all it does is serve dynamic pages that you enter via a blogging tool like Live Writer. There are plans for plug-ins and extensions in the near future, but as of right now, it just serves pages.
Under the covers, there are quite a few features that developers will find useful.
- Configurable data storage. SqlServer via Linq2Sql and xml via Linq2Xml
- Easily skinned with the skin configured in the admin panel.
- Cached data for lightning fast pages.
- Google Sitemap.
- Simple page management (Managed from LiveWriter)
If all this sounds too simple, that's because it is. There are some things that still need to be done/bugs.
- More skins
- Compression
- Cleanup
- Unit Tests
- Search
- Contact Page
- Finish plug-in/extension architecture
- More options/page configuration (right now, there is none!)
- When working in LiveWriter, it does not pull back the Keywords or Slug.
- More to come...
