Features

Access control with roles and permissions. This means that each web resource (like a page or an image) requires that a user has a certain role to access that resource. So you assign a role to a user, let's say 'Editor' and then that user can edit a certain page because editinng that page requires the permission 'edit_item' which permission you then assign to the role of Editor.
Out of the box there is support for multiple types of documents or pages (content types), a normal page for text, a container (folder) to hold other pages (content types). In the planning are a blog and a (photo) gallery
An easy framework for programming new content types
An easy way to make a different look & feel for your web site, or in other words it is easy to skin the site
With the stuff from the folks at http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/ : “djangoappengine - Django App Engine backends” the system can work on Google Application Engine
