XML would actually be slower and more complex than sql, why do you think most site use sql?
Still, cool idea.
Is this really a contender for “CMS Made Simple” ?

Looks promising….great for the simple site 5-6 pages…a very large target market… I now this sounds crazy but for some of my clients even wordpress is too much…Some clients just want to have a page up.
@Andrea – i love wordpress, and I know i took some layout queues from them, but i disagree that the admin looks like it or FrogCMS. They both do essentially the same function (handle webpages) so of course they may have some similarities.
@Luke – ok, xml can be slower in some instances, but i never saw a reason to introduce mysql into a small 5 page site just because I knew wordpress (or any other cms out there). Whats why I created this.
Thanks everyone else for your comments… I hope you all download the package and test it out… thanks!
CMS Made Simple is even cooler.

I don’t get the whole XML thing either for storing content. XML is a transport protocol. It only adds mountains of overhead if you’re going to store content that way. And if you’re really talking about editing xHTML as XML, then all you’ve got is a glorified page editor… not content management.

“best in class” meaning they designed a UI that looks suspiciously like WordPress admin?
