You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I've pared back Drake CMS and Drake Extender template to a bare
minimum Vanilla template for the free mini sites I offer to those
with something to offer the rabbit and guinea pig pet
community.
I have a number of
coloured versions with bars and backgrounds which I'll add as
templates to the SVN as generics.
The Manager role
gets to see the full menus of Forum, Gallery etc but I wanted an
ultra basic version for Publishers or Editors with little or no
web experience.
I am hoping to work on tutorials for
the various level users based on my experience. Anyone
interested in collaboration please let me know.
Legolas already introduced me to those who handle Templates and
Documentation for Drake CMS but I am a relative newbie so all
help and advice welcome.

Excellent work Galen; please also propose all the customizations
you made as single feature requests (for example
regarding different default user roles)
Last time I
asked stigi (Documentation Team coordinator) he
told me that he is still waiting an email answer about
collaboration; please agree with him about pieces of the new
documentation that you could write.
About templates:
if you do not want to use SVN you can use our contributions tracker to
submit your templates and we will put them on SVN (if their
license is compatible with the project, of course)
The
idea is that templates on SVN can be easily checked/fixed and
then packed for release. They do not really have to be on SVN, we
are just endorsing this practice while in the Beta development
cycle so that we can apply eventual adjustments to all templates
at once (but I am 99% sure that the templates feature is already
Stable)
