Integrate CMS via proxying

[pudo]

• As sysadmin/user of CKAN I want to integrate a CMS to support easy addition of additional content ...
• I want to integrate with navigation
• As a minimum I want to be able to add content pages (more stuff would be e.g. comments, sidebars, main menu ...)

Why: CMS are great at creating content and have very good editors and theme support ...

• deliverance: retheming on the fly

​http://knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/hg/file/677eef9402e6/shakespeare/controllers/template.py

1. Rewrite urls for proxying
2. You need a theme to substitute into
3. pylons

Extreme version:

• 2 sources -> pylons/ckan app, cms
• 1 theme source: ckan or cms

1 frontend/proxy app which re-themes everything

Owned by CKAN:

• package/
• tag/
• group/
• api/
• /

Everything else proxied.
