- 1.1. What's New in version 2.3.0
Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news websites. Its easily localizable user interface was built with the end user (journalist/editor/publisher) in mind and it can be configured to suit different profiles of end users – to each according his or her own technological prowess. Campsite follows the print-newspaper publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications> Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too. Some of its main features are highly customizable user interface, total design freedom for web designers, automatic creation of archives, copy flow, and built-in subscription support.
The original Campsite concept was developed by Micz Flor and Sava Tatić for Center for Advanced Media-Prague (CAMP) in collaboration with Aleksandar Brajanoski from Transitions Online, the first site to go live on Campsite in late 2000. Developer teams at DNT-Cluj (http://www.dntcj.ro) and Recognos (http://www.recognos.com), software companies based in Cluj, Romania, wrote the original code and contributed to the development of the concept. Lucian Mureşan, Attila Egyedi, and Nenad Pandžić have contributed to the code in the past. Current core development is handled by Mugur Rus, Paul Baranowski, and Sebastian Göbel.
