|
<p>Thalassa CMS is based on architecture principles that look unusual in
|
||
|
|
'modern' circumstances:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> it is written in C++ (and partly in plain C), and it basically
|
||
|
|
only needs the compiler and GNU make to build; </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> it doesn't rely on client-side scripting; the examples and templates
|
||
|
|
provided along with the source code emit no JS nor any other code to
|
||
|
|
be executed in the browser, and we hope you will not introduce any
|
||
|
|
of that crap in your own Thalassa-managed sites, although it is
|
||
|
|
technically possible; </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> it uses no DBMS, everything is stored in plain text files; </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> it generates pages when they are created and modified,
|
||
|
|
<strong>not</strong> when they are requested by the visitor; </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> it provides certain interactive features, such as a contact form and
|
||
|
|
user comments (with possibility of both moderation and premoderation),
|
||
|
|
using a CGI program; however, if you don't need them, you can even
|
||
|
|
avoid installing Thalassa on your server: all the site can be
|
||
|
|
generated locally on your home computer, and uploaded to the server
|
||
|
|
afterwards, just as a bunch of static html files; </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> for non-interactive sites, Thalassa doesn't use any cookies; the
|
||
|
|
interactive capabilities rely on exactly one cookie, which is
|
||
|
|
typically only set when the user requests it explicitly, so you don't
|
||
|
|
need all that nonsense with “asking” the user for “permission”
|
||
|
|
which they are actually forced to give. </li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
