Refinery CMS, often shortened to Refinery, is an open source content management system written in Ruby as a Ruby on Rails web application with jQuery used as the JavaScript library. Refinery supports Rails 3.0.[2]

Refinery differs from similar products by targeting a non-technical end user and allowing the developer to create a flexible website rapidly by staying as close as possible to the conventions of the Ruby on Rails framework[3].

Version 1.0.0 was released[4] on the 28th of May, 2011 - exactly 2 years after it was first released as open source software.

History

Refinery started as a closed sourced project at Resolve Digital in 2004[5] and went on to be released as open source software under the MIT License on the 28th May 2009 [6]. Since then it has gained popularity[7] and is now the most popular Ruby on Rails CMS [8] with more than 140 contributors [9] and an active community extending the application with engines [10] and themes [11].

Features

  • Engine architecture
  • WYSIWYG content editing
  • Localisation (currently supports 19 languages [12])
  • Page management
  • Image and File management
  • Contact form and inquiry management
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
