Take a look at Wagtail.io . It's newish but seems to be getting a good amount of traction by some pretty interesting customers. Written in Python/Django FWIW.

I had forgotten about Wagtail.io. I had a look a while ago and it was still pretty new; looks interesting at first sight. Have you worked with it?

I haven't but I'm planning a new site and I'm going to give it a go. I have a site with entities rather than just pages, so the content model seems to fit. I used Django-CMS about 4 years ago and it didn't support the people editing the site in terms of UX. So I ditched it and went with Wordpress (which I'm not happy with, hence wanting to change).

I used to work for Torchbox who are developing Wagtail, so I heard about it before it went public. But looking at the uptake on http://madewithwagtail.org/ it seems to be doing very well in the market.

Wagtail isn't so new now - it's coming up to two years since we launched the open source project and there are now thousands of sites in productions, with high profile users including NASA, Google, NBC, the US and UK governments. Wagtail takes quite a different approach to Django CMS and we're very happy to see their continued progress. Congratulations on the release!

Sorry, I realize I can research this myself—and plan to—but do you happen to have any references where I might learn about the differences in approach between Wagtail and Django CMS?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a video in which Tom Dyson (Wagtail) and Iacopo Spalletti (django CMS) discuss this question at DjangoCon Europe 2015: https://vimeo.com/135039952

Good grief. Thin white and black text on a red background. Why do you hate my eyes? Why??
