Midgard 1.8 - New user experience

Midgard is a capable open source content management system for running mid-to-high-end websites. In addition to the built-in content management features, Midgard also provides a highly object-oriented component architecture for building interactive web applications that integrate seamlessly with the website.

While Midgard can run almost any kind of website, it really excels in the following fields:

• Corporate intranets: Midgard's integration with third-party authentication systems and its sophisticated access control lists system provide easy way to build secure intranets and extranets.
  
  
• Multilingual websites: The MultiLang system in Midgard helps with maintaining a multilingual website and managing the translation workflow
  
  
• Groups of websites: The style inheritance system in Midgard makes it easy to build groups of different websites that can easily share some graphical identity but still be maintained independently

Midgard's AJAX-powered user interface makes regular site maintenance and content production easy and natural. For sites requiring greater control over the publication process Midgard provides an approval-driven staging/live system that can also be used for clustering purposes.

The core of Midgard is written in C for better performance on high-volume sites. This means that Midgard must be installed on a Linux or Unix server with root-level privileges.
