The first release candidate for the web framework and content management system Zotonic has been released. The project is written in Erlang and distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. Zotonic is based on the concept of organizing content in the form of "resources" (also called "pages") and "links" between them ("article" - "related" - "topic", "user" - "author" - "article"), moreover, the links themselves are resources of the "link" type (and the resource type is a resource of the "resource type" type).
To represent the content, a template language borrowed from Django is used, and PostgreSQL is used as a resource store. For processing requests, a fork of Basho Webmachine based on Cowboy is used. Two-way data exchange between the server and the browser is carried out using the MQTT protocol. To improve performance, the generated pages are stored in the Depcache caching system.
One of the main obstacles blocking the preparation of the release of the 1.0 branch, the author calls the need to verify the translation by native speakers (localization work is carried out separately from the development of code on the Crowdin platform).
