I have come across yet another cool open source content management system. This one is called MODx and can be found by going to www.modx.com. This system is different from other CMS systems like Wordpress and Drupal in that it claims to have been created with the other CMS systems mistakes “in mind”. It claims to be an Ajax CMS so it appears to be using quite a bit of Ajax in it’s system. Probably in the back office. Here are some it’s claimed features:

• Strong Web Standards Support
• Web 2.0 Features
• PHP Application Framework
• Works in your favorite browser
• Graphical Installer
• Improved Rich Text Editors
• Better handling of aliases and menu indexes
• Robust CSS Menu Builder
• Improved Meta-tag and keywords controls
• Separate Manager and Web User sessions
• Improved Document Parser and Error handling
• Custom Content Types
• Bug fixes and usability tweaks

Sounds like similar features to what everyone else offers. But if you go to their site they seem to have a pretty good setup. I have not yet used or installed their software but i’m interested to hear feedback from anyone who has. I’m going to try and spend some time this next week trying out their software and will let you know of my feedback. Check them out and give them a try.
