6 A little history... |
|
7 ------------------- |
|
8 |
|
9 `CubicWeb` is a web application framework developped by Logilab_ since 2001. |
|
10 |
|
11 Entirely written in Python, `CubicWeb` publishes data from all sorts |
|
12 of sources such as SQL database, LDAP directory and versioning system such |
|
13 as subversion. |
|
14 |
|
15 `CubicWeb` user interface was designed to let the final user a huge flexibility |
|
16 on how to select and how to display content. It allows to browse the knowledge |
|
17 database and to display the results with the best rendering according to |
|
18 the context. |
|
19 This interface flexibility gives back the user the control of the |
|
20 rendering parameters that are usually reserved for developpers. |
|

|
22 |
|
23 We can list a couple of web applications developped with `CubicWeb`, an online |
|
24 public phone directory (see http://www.118000.fr/), a system for managing |
|
25 digital studies and simulations for a research lab, a tool for shared children |
|
26 babysitting (see http://garde-partagee.atoukontact.fr/), a tool to manage |
|
27 software developpment (see http://www.logilab.org), an application for |
|
28 managing museums collections (see |
|
29 http://collections.musees-haute-normandie.fr/collections/), etc. |
|

|
31 In 2008, `CubicWeb` was ported for a new type of source : the datastore |
|
32 from `GoogleAppEngine`_. |
