Wagtail - Yet Another Django CMS
summary
Wagtail is a Django CMS launched for the Royal College of Art that quickly hits Hacker News and attracts global contributions, then stabilizes as core maintainers push tests from near zero to ~80→90% test coverage. It uses PostgreSQL JSON storage, Vagrant-friendly dev setups, and a Docker demo, suffered friction from requiring libsass, and ships a standout feature, streamfield content blocks, plus static-site generation used by large sites; migration and i18n are work-in-progress.
