Plus if you change your mind you can easily export all of your content.

admin UI and the setup time (especially using a Yeoman generator)
is quick. Works well on Heroku if you wanna kick the tyres.

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi LRUG,
<div><br></div>
<div>I’m looking to build a content-heavy site with tight API
integration, a bit like <a href="http://www.plotr.co.uk" target="_blank">www.plotr.co.uk</a> (which uses a bespoke CMS and
integrates with <a href="http://www.sokanu.com" target="_blank">www.sokanu.com</a> for it’s career test), but would
like to avoid re-inventing the CMS wheel.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Could anyone recommend an (open source?) CMS which lends
itself well to being extended in such a way?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Aside from the API integration, we would also like to allow
third-parties (i.e advertisers etc) to have self-managed areas on
the site (similar to Plotr’s sponsored worlds).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We’re polyglot developers, and have done epic things with
Wordpress recently, but this project feels like it would have a lot
more custom code, so would lend itself to Rails rather than trying
to shoehorn WordPress in where it doesn’t belong.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The rub is that we know we can get them up and running to a
high standard very quickly with WordPress, so the temptation is to
start with WordPress as an experiment and rewrite in Rails once the
concept is validated — I just know that many projects have started
that way and still use the ‘throwaway prototype’ years later.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Many thanks,</div>
<div>Ed</div>
