.. -*- coding: utf-8 -*- The development team is pleased to announce the 3.0.0 release of CubicWeb, also know as ShowTime. What is CubicWeb? ----------------- With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game! CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components (called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles. Its main features are: * an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application, * a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL, * a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation, * a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs, * the power and flexibility of the Python programming language, * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories and Mercurial for storage backends. Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting 100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and efficiency. The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb. The hacker will join development at the forge_. The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb environment. .. _cubicweb: https://www.cubicweb.org/ .. _overview: https://docs.cubicweb.org/tutorials/base/index.html .. _forge: https://www.cubicweb.org/project?vtitle=All%20cubicweb%20projects .. _installation: https://docs.cubicweb.org/book/admin/setup.html#setupenv Home page --------- http://www.cubicweb.org/ Download -------- http://ftp.logilab.org/pub/cubicweb/ Mailing list ------------ http://lists.cubicweb.org/mailman/listinfo/cubicweb
