This document discusses Create, an open-source content management system (CMS) built with JavaScript. It uses RDFa to connect content with JavaScript behaviors. Key components include VIE for RDFa parsing, Hallo Editor as the rich text editor, Backbone.js for model-view-controller architecture, and jQuery UI. The document provides an overview of how to get started with Create and what developments are planned for 2012, including new user interfaces, collaboration features, versioning, and community outreach. It concludes by inviting questions.
