Is it possible to deploy any CMS (Content Management System) using Google App Engine? Wikipedia lists 4 Python CMSes and one of them is Django based.

Do you know any way to make any of them to work on App Engine?

My votes:

Python

  • GuteCMS (revision 11 10/28/2009) Too simple. Barely usable.
  • cpedialog (both 1.0 and 2.0 beta) Too simple. Has blog engine.
  • GaeDjangocms (1.1) Too simple.
  • App Engine Site Creator (1.1.1) Simple, but professional. Lacks blog engine.
  • Nuages photoblog (revision 18) Too simple. Barely usable.
  • Niubi (revision 71) Promising, but couldn't make it work since it requires app engine helper for django
  • rocket-seat needs mako, I couldn't make it work
  • stoutsd not as customizable as I need.

Java

  • vosaocms (0.2) Sounds promising, but I couldn't run it as I am not familiarized with Java App Engine.

Google returned the following options:

App Engine Site Creator

Magazine Life (e-magazine CMS)

Those seems to be new (testing versions). I would feel more confortable with more famous CMS.

I am not a django developer, but, during the research for a very similar question I came across django-cms, which looks very promising.

It seems, as if there is a high interest in having a CMS running on google-app-engine. It is possible that with the Django 1.0 support in GAE (release notes version 1.2.3), there will soon be a working version. Recent questions related to supporting django-cms on GAE on either of the two communities' discussion lists have not resulted in a definite answer yet. Here the references:

I currently use Vosao and while it's a bit rough around the edges, it works very well and is under active development. My site runs on Vosao and I recently wrote up a post on upgrading from version 0.0.4 to 0.1 if your interested in how to get it running.

Having been checking the Vosao project and I definitely think it's a CMS with a very promising future.
