Hi LRUG,
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">I’m looking to build a content-heavy site with tight
API integration, a bit like <a href="http://www.plotr.co.uk" class="">www.plotr.co.uk</a> (which uses a bespoke CMS and
integrates with <a href="http://www.sokanu.com" class="">www.sokanu.com</a> for it’s career test), but would like to
avoid re-inventing the CMS wheel.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Could anyone recommend an (open source?) CMS which
lends itself well to being extended in such a way?</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Many thanks,</div>
<div class="">Ed</div>
