The IKS project intents to build a semantic CMS stack, in an approach, similiar to the LAMP architecture. After more than one year, the first results have been developed, and are available for development and testing:
FISE
FISE is a RESTful, OSGi-based, pluggable text content enrichment engine. It's still under heavy development, but the API was planned foresighted. See the introduction slides. I'm impressed about the community drive and energy behind it!Semantic Editor
Aloha Editor was presented to the community by me (Laurin Herlt) and Haymo Meran, and proposed to be used as the semantic editor in the IKS stack. Aloha is still under development at Gentics, and still missing a communitysite and some examples to be released. The expectations and demands from the IKS audience are high, let's see how the community likes to work with the Aloha Editor.Some feedback we got from the community:
yenzenz: iks aloha editor is really cool. goodbye tinymce, semantics is coming! ;)
bergie: wow, the #Aloha table insertion dialog is very nice. Well done @didldum and @draftkraft! #iks
