WHAT IS CAMPSITE?
-----------------
Campsite is an open-source multi-lingual content management system (CMS)
for newspaper and magazine-style websites.

Campsite was made for medium-to-large size news organizations, those
with multiple journalists, one or more editors, and a subscriber
base, but it is capable of supporting smaller sites as well.

Here are a few of Campsite's main features:
 1. Journalist/user-friendly. The interface is made to be simple and
    require as few clicks as possible to get the job done.  The
    interface can be configured to suit different profiles of users -
    to each according his or her own technological prowess.
  2. Supports multi-lingual content. This means you can publish your
    articles in multiple languages at once - for example, have the same
    article in English, French, and Spanish. All content in Campsite
    can be translated.
 3. Content management functionality designed for newspapers: issue
    publishing, exclusive content for subscribers, multi-media content,
    content categories, subscriber comments, WYSIWYG editor, article
    locking (so only one journalist can work on an article at a time),
    and timed release of articles or issues.
 4. Subscription management with fine-grain control over what content
    your subscribers have access to.
 5. Total design freedom over the look and layout of your site.
    Campsite does not impose any sort of predefined "block" layout to
    the structure of your site.
