Why don't we build a great CMS from Codeigniter ?

[quote author="Negligence" date="1203359465"]Just out of curiosity, why would you (or other developers) spend your time building a CMS when there are hundreds already out there?[/quote]

Jeez, I just realized how old this thread was. I did a keyword search for 'license' and hit this thread and started reading through... sorry for bringing an old topic back to life!

Yes, everybody has different kind of needs but we can build a core CMS to flexible enough to add different modules

I don't think CodeIgniter needs a full-blown CMS. What it needs is a set of libraries (or modules) that perform the various functions of a CMS. For example, user authentication, custom content types, forms, etc. A lot of these are already there in the ignited code forum.

You can then can mix and match different these different libraries to fit your current needs.

One issue might be integrating multiple libraries. A solution might be Modular Extensions or Matchbox combined with some sort of plugin (event) system.
