As anyone gave the new ChartaCMS a go yet?. Is this the direction Elements CMS is going?

That doesn’t look like it’s ready for prime time to me. It’s unclear to me how to do much of anything in it, and the say that some basic things, like images, aren’t yet supported.

Moreover, notice that is says “page editor” not “content editor.”

I don’t do any CMS on my sites so I haven’t been keeping up with it to much. But if Elements rolls out a jam up solution with a web interface I might start.

I just read through the site and watched Brecht’s video on his cms. I quite like it and since you can add classes to components in elements, it should work with elements too. You give every component/element you want to be editable online a certain class and then you can edit it online. Quite like the idea. And it looks nice too.

Still, waiting for what Realmac comes up with.

Brecht is working on it, it’s the first thing they asked him 😀
