Linz.js

Linz is a framework for creating administration interfaces. Linz is not a CMS, but is capable of CMS like functionality. Linz is a good choice of framework when the administration interface is the website itself.

Linz is built on Node.js, Express and MongoDB.

Linz is quite new and under rapid development. It is used quite successfully in a number of production sites however. This documentation is the first effort in making this open source project accessible to more developers.
