Overview
========
Mezzanine is a content management platform built using the `Django`_
framework. It is BSD licensed and designed to provide both a consistent
interface for managing content, and a simple architecture that makes diving
in and hacking on the code as easy as possible.
Its goal is to resemble something like `Wordpress`_, with an intuitive
interface for managing pages and blog posts. Mezzanine takes a different
approach from other Django applications in this space like `Pinax`_ or
`Mingus`_ that glue together a lot of reusable apps, instead opting to
provide most of its functionality included with the project by default.
Features
========
On top of all the usual features provided by Django such as MVC architecture,
ORM, templating, caching and the automatic admin interface, Mezzanine
provides the following features.
* Hierarchical page navigation
* Save as draft and preview on site
* Scheduled publishing
* Drag-n-drop page ordering
* WYSIWYG editing
* API for custom content types
* SEO friendly URLs and meta data
* Mobile device detection and templates
* Blogging engine
* Tagging
* Built-in threaded comments, or:
* `Disqus`_ integration
* `Gravatar`_ integration
* `Google Analytics`_ integration
* `Twitter`_ feed integration
* `bit.ly`_ integration
* Sharing via Facebook or Twitter
* Custom templates per page or blog post
* Built-in test suite

Dependencies
============
Apart from `Django`_ itself, Mezzanine has no explicit dependencies but is
designed to be used most effectively in conjunction with the following
libraries.
* `setuptools`_
* `Python Imaging Library`_ (PIL)
* `django-grappelli`_ <= 2.0
* `django-filebrowser`_ <= 3.0
Installation
============
Assuming you have `setuptools`_ installed, the easiest method is to install
directly from pypi by running the following command, which will also attempt
to install the dependencies mentioned above::
$ easy_install -U mezzanine
Otherwise you can download Mezzanine and install it directly from source::
$ python setup.py install
Once installed, the command ``mezzanine-project`` should be available which
can be used for creating a new Mezzaine project in a similar fashion to
``django-admin.py``::
$ mezzanine-project project_name
You can then run your project with the usual Django steps::
$ cd project_name
$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py runserver
Contributing
============
Mezzanine is an open source project that is managed using both Git and
Mercurial version control systems. These repositories are hosted on both
`Github`_ and `Bitbucket`_ respectively, so contributing is as easy as
forking the project on either of these sites and committing back your
enhancements.
