You must develop on a Mac or Linux. Windows users need not apply. This is a telecommute position but ideally you’d be located either in Hawaii or North Carolina. If you’re interested, please send your desired salary, date you can start, and your resume to hr at onomojo dot com

Rojo – An open source Ruby on Rails CMS

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

I’ve been planning out a content management system in Ruby on Rails for a while now and will be releasing a beta version in the next few weeks. I’m calling the project Rojo. There are quite a few CMSs out there for PHP already and they’re quite mature at this point but the ones I’ve seen for Rails are pretty pathetic to say the least. They’re all really limited in functionality and lack modularity so they’re not always the easiest to extend.

My company, Onomojo, does a decent amount of Ruby on Rails development and have been working on building a solid CMS that’s modular, easily extended, and easily customized. The project itself is coming along nicely. I’ve taken concepts that I like from different content management systems that I’ve used over the past decade and combined them in a way that helps minimize the effort involved in developing Rails sites for our clients. I’m pretty excited about it and I’ll be releasing the core code and the plugin code to the public after we get a few pieces developed so stay tuned for more on Rojo.
