Symphony, using php and the web servers built-in parser, presents data which is held in Mysql database as xml and has a framework (if I am using the right word) for managing and applying XSLT to the XML. While the core application is deliberately simple, there is a growing batch of extensions that add more backend and some frontend functionality.

The team developing it are very active and there is a committed group of users on discussion boards. If you have XSLT skills and are building small- to medium-size Web sites it is definitely a CMS to explore.

One limitation, I think, is that while it serves up the data stored in XML wrapper, the primary textarea editors used in symphony-cms rely on Markdown and SmartyPants. Using extensions you can add a rich text editor --but that could make things worse rather better:-). If the user entered data is well-formed, you can massage it with XSLT, but that is, I think, a big if, without an XML editor to add consistent structure to the text data users are entering.

I was reading a blog about stating out on XSLT... http:// net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/getting-started-with- xslt/ , pretty basic though, but what caught my attention was one of the comments below mentioning about a XSLT based CMS called Symphony http://symphony-cms.com

Anyone used this? feedbacks or comments?
