Metadot v7 is a complete rewrite in Ruby on Rails

Metadot 7 is the easiest-to-use, most intuitive content management system, portal server, wiki or site builder that you can find (or whatever the latest name is) and also the most fit for work group collaboration and organizations of all sizes.

• Clean and clear interface • Content drag and drop • Easy theme (skin) editing for professional looking web sites • Powerful permission system • Search engine friendliness • RSS for most functionalities

Metadot 7 is open source as before and will be available to download in the near future.

This is still in Beta, I will be posting the installation methodes soon

	Note:
	This is work in progress
