Jarves CMS

An enterprise and high-speed open-source Content-Management-System (CMS) / Application Framework based on the Symfony framework with a full RESTful API, a user friendly administration interface and rapid application development (RAD) framework using Composer, Propel and other rock-solid libraries.

Status

I developed this project several years ago and continued it in my spare time, so this is completely a hobby project being in the very early alpha version. I dropped angular 1 and angular 2 support because it was way too much work to convert all those several thousand line of codes and HTML. (would take another year to finish it) Although the current version is available in their branches. Maybe some day someone continues the work.

Feel free to use it, to continue the development. I'm open to merge and maintain pull-request but don't have the time to work so extensively again since its really a sophisticated and big project.

I open sourced this project because I still believe there are really shitty PHP CMS out there and I tried to make it better with Jarves.

If you want to continue to develop this project, co-maintain, or participate in another way feel free to contact me. I'd love to add more people to this organisation and bring it forward. I invested already several thousand of hours in this project and can not bring it alone to an end. Help to make the CMS world a better place. :)
