Django Fiber
An important message about this project
Hi Django Fiber enthusiasts! This project was started by the people at Ride The Pony, Leukeleu and Jouw Omgeving. They started Django Fiber in 2011, because they wanted a good, simple Django CMS available. Lots of people felt the same, which was why Django Fiber became pretty popular. And it is still going strong in lots of sites, so we hear :)
Later, they discovered Wagtail, and found it to be even better than their own creation. So they decided to move on. Nevertheless, Django Fiber was popular, used in many websites, and they didn't want to just drop it. At the start of 2017 they handed over control of the project to a new group of maintainers - the discussion about this handover can be found in issue #244.
Currently Django Fiber is in 'maintenance mode'. What this means it that it will be updated to run with the latest releases of Django - and of other packages that Django Fiber depends on. However, no effort will be made to add new features.
If a user really wants a new feature added - then a well-written PR will be reviewed and considered. But other than that, Django Fiber is staying exactly as it is :)
