Calipso

Calipso was developed to use modules for adding new features and functionality.

For the backend and data storage, Calipso uses MongoDB.

Features:

• Integrated scheduler and feeds module in core, allowing you to pull content from any source.
• Scheduler can call functions exposed by any module, giving fantastic flexibility
• Scheduler uses the node-cron library, so is easy to configure jobs
• Any module can expose restful endpoints, so easy to build your own API.
• The first level of themeing allows any module to render content (unstyled) as blocks, that can then be included by a theme in any section.
• The second then exposes helper functions in views that allow you to asynchronously grab other content to build your pages.
• Finally, simple CMS functions allow you to quickly edit what you need to.
• Built from the ground up on NodeJS, it is very quick.
• Leveraging MongoDB for the back end, making use of Map Reduce functions for tag cloud and menu generation (so massively scalable!)
• No caching implemented yet, but the basic CMS can take ~180 hits / second on this home page on a standard PC
• I18n

Requirements:

• Node.js 0.4.2 or higher
• MongoDB
• npm
