Searching for a simple CMS

[tonyg]

I am looking for a simple CMS with the following requirements:

Flat file database

Good track record as far as security issues

Has been available for at least a few years

Lightweight in resource usage

Any recommendations from personal usage?

I use GetSimple, and it may meet all your requirements:

Data is stored in multiple XML files

I don't know about security track record as I only found it recently (when I found it I did some quick searching and only came across one reference to a security problem, but I admit I didn't spend much time on this).

Not sure how old the project is

Officially requires Apache, but I use it with Lighttpd for lower resource usage with no problems.  I have a half dozen sites on a 128MB VPS, but they're all low traffic so not really a good indication of how well it scales.  (NOTE: They provide .htaccess files to ensure the XML data files (and some other stuff) aren't viewable via the web, so if you do use an alternative webserver you need to ensure you recreate those restrictions)

+1 for GetSimple! Works fantastically with nginx too.

GetSimple is good.

If you need something stright simple you can test Stacey (or Kirby if you want to spend money).

If you want to use Markdown take Pico. Its like Stacy but with Markdown and Plugin support.

Both GetSimple and Pico get's my vote.

+1 for GetSimple, which supports Markdown through a plugin BTW.
