ForestCMS - Filesystem-Oriented reST CMS

ForestCMS stands for Filesystem-Oriented reStructuredText Content
Management System. It's inspired in the ideas brought by the Hooks PHP
framework for content managements and it's intended to make easy to
publish contents in a filesystem-oriented way (i.e. use the hierarchical
nature of the filesystem to build a tree-like content management). This
makes very easy to manage contents without a web interface (by just
editing files in the filesystem). A web interface can come in the future,
thoug.

ForestCMS is written in Python, and the content is written in reST instead
of HTML. This is the initial commit with just a proof of concept, a small
web server that serve reST files as if they were web pages.

+
+===========
+|ForestCMS|
+===========
+
+|ForestCMS| stands for "Filesystem_-Oriented reST_ CMS_" (or
+"Filesystem_-Oriented reStructuredText_ `Content Management System`_" for long
+;).
+
+It's a `Web CMS`_ inspired in the ideas brought by the Hooks_ PHP_ framework
+for content managements and it's intended to make easy to publish contents in
+a filesystem_-oriented way (i.e. use the hierarchical nature of the filesystem_
+to build a tree-like content database). This makes very easy to manage contents
+without a web interface (by just editing files in the filesystem_). A web
+interface can come in the future, though, it just have to manage files in the
+filesystem_ instead of rows in a relational database.
+
+|ForestCMS| is written in Python_, and the content is written in
+reStructuredText_ instead of HTML_. Why? Just because reStructuredText_ is
+great for writing content, and if you *really* need to do some nasty HTML_
+tricks, you can always use the `raw directive`_.
+
+
+
+Quick Test
+==========
+
+If you want to quickly try ForestCMS just run::
+
+        python fcms.py
+
+And point your browser to http://localhost:8000/README to see this very same
+file rendered as HTML_.
