nanoCMS Community
0.7 prep
Released 10th May 2010
nanoCMS is a php open source, gpl licensed flat file content management system. It does not use a MySQL database and is ideal for small websites. It is a very small package (hence the nano part). Doesn't take long to setup and is very simple to create pages and edit content. As it is small and doesn't use a mysql database..... it's fast, very fast.

It can be extended using modules called 'tweakers' and many exist to provide different features such as RSS news pages, metadata (SEO) features, different page editors and statistics among others. So you get to pick what you need for your circumstances. Not features inbuilt, slowing your cms down.
Overview of this site
The original nanoCMS project was created by Kalyan Chakravarthy over two years ago and unfortunately his nanoCMS site disappeared leaving many hundreds, if not thousands of users without a community site and forum. With a very active nanoCMS community worldwide, this site has been created to provide a home for the community.
You will find an active fork of the nanoCMS package called 'nanoCMS Community' in the forum available for download with contributions from the community. It's ideals and aims the same as the original. Plus new and old tweakers (modules) to extend functionality, people willing to help and discuss the nanoCMS project.
nanoCMS Requirements
To use nanoCMS Community you require php 5 (released in 2004) and an apache server is recommended. FTP access is also recommended, though not necessary if you can upload files and change file permissions via your hosts control panel. No MySQL database server is required.
If you wish to try out nanoCMS before uploading to your web host providers server, XAMPP is an excellent free suite of packages that allow you to try nanoCMS on a local Windows desktop. Enabling you to test, setup a template and perform limited configuration before migrating to your hosting providers server.
