Daisy is an Open Source content management system, composed of a standalone, ReST-accessible repository server, and a powerful Wiki-on-steroids editing and publishing application.
New in this release are
In the Daisy Wiki:
* an easy-to-use graphical site navigation tree editor to define site hierarchies and navigation
* user self-registration with password and account reminder
* a general document commenting facility with public and private comments
* enhanced support for human-readable website URLs
In the repository:
* comprehensive support for arbitrary-sized document parts (or "BLOBs"), with streaming support both on front- and backend (making Daisy capable of hosting media libraries)
* generalized database access layer to easily run Daisy on top of any standards-conforming relational database engine
* improved full-text indexing support for MS Office document formats
Daisy's future
For the next release (summer 2005), planned features are:
* publish-only website publishing for easy publication of non-editable Daisy sites (using the Wiki as a powerful editing application)
* Daisy Books: management and production of manuals and paper documentation
* more sophisticated repository versioning and querying
* support for facetted classification and navigation using Daisy's metadata support
