Is it enough ?
Is an intelligent framework is enough to satisfy all
CMS needs ?
Framework is the fundamental base of the
application, but after there the application logic
defines the behaviour of the system.
Let's see what else could we find next door.

19 Comparison of CMS : improving TYPO3 functionality
Fedir Rykhtik, September 10, 2009, Frankfurt am Main

Evolution of CMS concept
● Before : Time of identical solutions with gadgets. It's
enough just to have CMS, with everything ready, use
it, with a bit of parameters changing. Only site
template and site content are different.
● Now : Time of own application, efficient & functional.
To have a CMS like a base, create personalized
projects with custom logic. Sites becomes to be
functionally different, even if the CMS is the same.
