The document discusses building a content management system (CMS) without forms. It describes features like drag-and-drop images, workflows, SEO, and never losing content. It recommends technologies like jQuery, Aloha, Backbone.js, and Strophe.js for the application, and Midgard MVC and a content repository for the backend. It also provides instructions for installing Midgard on Linux and suggests areas for further development, like collaboration, semantic technologies, additional backends, and theming the editor.
