XApperator
XApperator is a Perl based open source MVC-like lightweight application controller framework I'm developing which uses XML to store individual application's configuration, functionality availability, behaviour and UI messages, uses XSLT to transform simple application XML data structures into vanilla web interfaces for editing and administration, and optionally renders data/content out to a static publishing point using XSLT for eventual web serving and end-user consumption
XApperator will never be a general purpose CMS, instead it is targetted at the tedious small-scale but frequently engineered web-based structured data administration applications which often have very simple data structures and interface needs. A constrained set of common user actions (~CRUD) will be supported by the controller to manage the data records, add, edit, delete, copy, save and publish.
A new application can be rapidly and simply deployed (~15mins) by creating an XML config file and pointing the XApperator controller at it. A config file builder is planned so non techincal folks can spawn an application of their own.
