Merengue: the new surprising and refreshing Django based CMS.
summary
Merengue is a Django-based CMS built in about 4,100 hours with a block-centric, pluggable architecture that creates DB tables on install (the voting block auto-adds a table). It exposes inline editing and translation workflow tools, a flexible theming system, per-object permissions and stateful workflows, and many third-party Django apps wired in. Claimed production stability for the company, but raw performance without caching is modest — roughly 2–3 requests/sec without caching.
