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].
History
Refinery started as a closed sourced project at Resolve Digital in 2004[4] and went on to be released as open source software under the MIT License on the 28th May 2009 [5]. Since then it has gained popularity[6] and is now the second most popular Ruby on Rails CMS [7] with more than 60 contributors [8] and an active community extending the application with engines [9] and themes [10].
