Overview

Geego cms is suited for web developers and web designers that are familiar with Ruby on Rails.

The Geego approach is to not restrict your data structure and design options.

A very brief explanation of the workings of Geego:

Template definitions are made in files.
They define what updatable data fields are provided for the end user in the admin area.
The developer or designer then outputs the data to the rhtml templates they have created in the normal Ruby on Rails fashion.

Requirements

Version 1.2 of Ruby on Rails.
RMagick for image manipulation.
A ftp server. Ftp access to the site you are running Geego on. This is standard on a live server but it does mean you need to organise a ftp server on your local dev machine, if you don't have one already. Ftp is used to move uploaded files within geegos directories to avoid problems with users, groups and permissions. Mac osx - comes with ftp server you just need to turn it on and it will serve from your user home directory. Windows - http://www.cerberusftp.com/ is one option that is easy to use. Linux - there are plenty of options available.
mysql database (it has not been tested with other dbs)
Browser, we recommend using firefox for editing content in the admin area as it works well across linux, mac and windows when formatting text with the Tinymce editor. Safari and IE will also work but not as well.

Please Note: Geego has only been used on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac Os x and therefore cannot vouche for it working on a windows server, having said that I see no reason for it not to work.
