I have started, or rather restarted, a project under the codename of Vodka. This project is the replacement for FGCMS, or Focused Games Content Management System, the backend that has driven my sites for many years (until this site, anyways). The goal of Vodka is to create a simple and extendable CMS that is entirely based on XML and XSL technologies.
It is being written in ASP.NET on the .NET 3.5 platform. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 to write the backend, and plan to employ a lot of slick AJAX/Silverlight controls to provide both the frontend and backend user interfaces. Right now I have been working on a simple content management architecture that takes XML content, transforms it using XSLT and spits out HTML. Check the screenshot below of an early prototype.
Vodka will be built as part of the Focused Games Framework, so look forward to seeing a small portion of it in the next release!
