WebGUI
WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full host of features including shopping cart, subscriptions, forums, photo galleries, FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very configurable user privilege and profiling system.

Release Notes: This stable release contains fixes for the Stock asset, searchable content in the Thingy, Groups that have the user Visitor, AssetReport, and the Calendar. The Shop now does a better job displaying and handling errors when the user has added recurring and non-recurring data to their carts. A gotcha exists: the default_search2 template had a bad template attachment pointing to an old WebGUI CSS Snippet called /webgui.css. Any attachment with that URL will be removed from ALL templates in the Search namespace.

Congratulations !
Hurray!
Finally, after years of very hard work WebGUI 7 has arrived!
This is the beginning of a new era in Open Source CMSes.
Re: Please explain "platform independent"
When people refer to a software as platform independant they refer to the OS at the platform. MySQL and Apache are additional pieces of software required by WebGUI to run, these pieces of software ALSO run on the platform (being the OS.)
WebGUI does NOT run ON TOP of MySQL, but rather along with it.

Re: Please explain "platform independent"
I believe the "platform" they are describing is the Operating System on which this software can run. Both Apache, and MySQL are open source services which will run on a UNIX or Microsoft based machine. If you, and your clients already have an MS based server, installing these two free software packages should not be a big deal. I did not see anything but ANSI SQL, so perhaps Ms SQL would work, and IIS for displaying the HTML, but if not, I'm sure it would not be a big deal for your provider to install these packages as they do not have to pay licensing. Also if need be, contact me, I provide hosting services with Apache and MySQL on a 10mbit backbone, and would be more than happy to assist you with your hosting needs.
Hope this answers your questions.
