CKEditor 5 is new in the most recent version of Backdrop CMS. At our last virtual user group meeting, we had a demostration of what is new in CKEditor 5 and how to manage the upgrade. It was VERY informative.

We also has a short 10 minute demo of the TinyMCE text editor module for Backdrop CMS.

The entire event was recorded and we highly recommend watching.

The biggest feature in this release is the inclusion of CKEditor 5 in core. Lots of smaller bug fixes and less noticable features as well.

Members of the Backdrop CMS opensource project would like to invite some folks involved in other opensource CMS projects to show us what you are working on.

We'd love to get a demo of your CMS and then follow-up with a discussion about how our favorite CMS compares to yours and what we might learn from each other?

Anyone interested in this?

NOTE: We have Drupal resources already, looking for others...

I talk about Backdrop CMS a lot here. For those who are not familiar with it, here is a short video introduction I made about 2 years ago.

Backdrop CMS is an opensource content management system used to build dynamic websites. It is very similar to Drupal or Wordpress, but better!

    So many
    7 modules have the potential to live on in the Backdrop CMS space. Every week, more and more of them are ported.

    Currently, we're seeing progress with:

    For comparison, I checked the top 20 modules for the CMS that I work with the most (and contribute to), Backdrop CMS.

    https://backdropcms.org/project/usage

    Functional modules are popular, because they meet very common use cases. Some of these should probably be in core (or some version of them).

    This is an interesting exercise.

    A brief history of Drupal 7 and overview of end-of-life options

    "The Drupal 7 Soft Landing Initiative, rightly so, is primarily focused on making it easier for Drupal 7 site owners to move to Drupal 10 or to Backdrop to keep these sites within the Drupal ecosystem."
