On developing Joomla Components-Like extensibility system with CI

[eluser]WanWizard[/eluser]
This is the idea behind ExiteCMS, a framework we're developing on top of CI at the moment.

It uses themes similar to Joomla, so with a bit of conversion any template out there can be used. But unlike Joomla we want to give developers complete freedom, and not force you into a straitjacket like Joomla does.

Everything in ExiteCMS is modular, including the entire backend. Need extra functionality? Write a module, install it, slap it onto a page. Done.

ExiteCMS comes with features common for 'corporate' applications, including support for multiple authentication sources, a full task based RBAC system with both group and role support, and a workflow engine.

You might have a look, ExiteCMS is open source (currently in alpha stage), we have a demo online that is updated with every repository commit. Check out the link in my signature...
