        No, but it looks to be an amazing piece of real CMS when you look deeper into it.

        Built in python with Django framework, it's created for developer AND designer AND publisher. Seems to have the greatest flexibility one can have with some great features I haven't seen anywhere else on the CMS side.

        It also has an impressive array of packages available, which can be used to produce great websites limited only by your imagination. For example, you can embed PeerTube, create e-commerce, proceed with SEO and marketing, and even start a newsletter, and much more.

        If you're looking to add a serious additional CMS on top of what's already on CR that sounds like a winner. 🙂

          Kind a bit of both in my understanding. I think developers can make custom CMSs with it that have WYSIWYG editing (well, if the developers have created a content type/ field that has that enabled).

          https://www.dev.ngo/ are a UK based tech worker co-op who develop with Wagtail and https://hactar.is/ are another UK agency who use it a lot. The NHS use it. Seems a bit like a python Drupal.

          I've worked for a charity that use it too. Coming from WordPress which is more DIY, I've found it a little frustrating/ lacking in features for users, e.g I wanted to be able to easily embed Tweets just by pasting a link etc. Saying that, I'd guess that is a limitation of specific set-up and it'd be perfectly possible to do that in Wagtail too, it's just that for the Charity to add more features is pretty costly and long-winded as it means going back to the developers/ agency who built the site.

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            People here might be interested in Wagtail CRX (formerly CodeRed CMS). In the words of the developers, this is a set of extensions that "provides a large set of enhancements and pre-built components for Wagtail which are ready to use out-of-the box".

            I've been playing around with it and it seems to be a nice option if you want to get a basic website up and running fast with basically no coding, but built on the solid framework of Wagtail/Django so you have a nice stack to build in when it's time to start writing code.

            It does break the strict content/presentation separation of Wagtail, but I think the rationale for this makes sense and it's a good middle way.

                    @girish Yes, I've used it. It's for developers, Wagtail just a package for a Django application. So “Supporting wagtail” is like “supporting any arbitrary Django application”. Wagtail makes it easy to build a custom CMS, but you still need a Django developer.
