Video: Intro to Mura CMS
Mura is an open source content management system (CMS) that makes life easier for CSS and ColdFusion developers as well as non-technical people. Mura is free to download and for those who need training or support, the company can provide those things. The company also sells themes and plugins.
Mura is build on web-standard technologies, and if you're familiar with those technologies, Mura should seem pretty familiar to you. The installation is painless and theme creation is similar to other CMSs. Mura also has an API that allows developers to extend the system or integrate it with a legacy application, for example. The project developers do a weekly show on their website via Adobe Connect that involves developer questions and coding walkthroughs.
Sean Schroeder is a lead developer for Mura.
