It allows one to browse the federated data sources and -display the results with the rendering that best fits the context. This -flexibility of the user interface gives back to the user some capabilities -usually only accessible to application developers. - -*CubicWeb* has been developed by Logilab_ and used in-house for many years -before it was first installed for its clients in 2006 as version 2. - -In 2008, *CubicWeb* version 3 became downloadable for free under the -terms of the LGPL license. Its community is now steadily growing -without hampering the fast-paced stream of changes thanks to the time -and energy originally put in the design of the framework. - - -.. _Narval: http://www.logilab.org/project/narval-moved -.. _Logilab: http://www.logilab.fr/
