Ajax Girl

We have often talked about the holy grail of a usable WYSIWYG CMS system where users build their website by just being on their website and editing layouts and pages.

Kris Zyp is trying to do that with his new Authenteo system.

We have released a beta version of our new development framework and content management system, called Authenteo. This product features several innovative approaches to web development that we believe could really revolutionize the way we develop web applications.

• Client centric domain model through transparent persistence and retrieval from the server database using AJAX and continuations ala Narrative JavaScript. JavaScript can transparently access the data domain model without any knowledge of AJAX, but the domain model is still secured via the server. All pages are dynamically rendering with JavaScript on the browser.
• Immediate and intuitive access to component properties, JavaScript code, and styles by just right clicking on components in the editing interface. Try changing the JavaScript and styles dynamically from the editing interface!
• Structural model inheritance that provides a sophisticated form of that forms the basis of component construction, advanced super-flexible version control, and transactions.
• True in browser WYSIWYG editing, both content and layout can be editing just as page appears, no textboxes with your content, the whole page is there as it normally appears.
