KPAX CMS - The human CMS from another planet

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Hello everybody,

I just released the KPAX CMS 1.0 beta (based on web2py).
Create web pages, wikis with locking and versioning, blogs, chats,  
surveys, video/audio streams. No programming required. Runs off a USB  
drive too.
The name is temporary.
