WebsiteBaker is a free content management system which is primarily used to create small and medium-sized
websites. WebsiteBaker is based on the server script language PHP and the MySQL database, which runs under
open-source license and is available free of charge.
WebsiteBaker is primarily known for simple use. It has an automated installation program and a simple GUI
(graphical user interface) that also allows computer beginners and less experienced users to publish content or
information on the Internet.
History
Originally written by Ryan Djurovich the WebsiteBaker CMS was released in 2004.
The first announcement of WebsiteBaker came with the version 2.2.0 on December 14, 2004. [2] [3] With this version
multiple-level page, sections and multilanguage support was introduced, also Core Add-ons were provided.
On September 4, 2005 Ryan Djurovich announced in the message board [4] several topics: A non-profit organisation
called "Open Source Bakery" should be responsible for WebsiteBaker (which never came true), teams are
responsible for the future of Developing and maintaining the CMS, besides the use of an own SVN instead of
SourceForge.
The upcoming version 2.6.0 released on November 28, 2005 [5] was the first version developed and maintained from
the Community.
On the November 16th 2008 Ryan Djurovich announced [6] , that the WebsiteBaker CMS is split into two different
projects after an Open Discussion with the community: PlatformRAD Open Source Edition (OSE) (which is now
called EdgeCMS) is being further maintained by the founder himself, the WebsiteBaker Community stays with the
name, to avoid restrictions with further versions of the CMS.
The leader of the CMS was now Matthias Gallas, he retired on the August 19th 2009 [7] with the release of version
2.8.0 [8]
One day later the definite retirement of the founder and the foundation of the Website Baker Org e.V. was
announced [9] [10] - according to German law a non-profit association. The current board members are Raymond
Plügge, Ruud Eisinga and Klaus Weitzel. [11]
