Web Applications
Wiking
CMS and framework for advanced web applications
Wiking Content Management System (CMS) can be used to run your web pages, but Wiking is more than that. It is a complete system for the development of highly accessible complex web applications on top of an SQL database and connectable to other web services, such as a media streaming server or RSS channels. It uses Pytis as its database backend and LCG for text formatting and HTML output.
For an example of sophisticated applications developed on Wiking, see Biblio or Digital Language School.

Biblio

The system also provides an RSS channel with updates on new titles in the catalog
See example of one catalogue item – a book complete with its audio version: https://biblio.brailcom.org/biblio/catalog/12
