History ------- [](#history) Initially inspired by **Etomite 0.6**, then continued as **MODX Evolution 0.7 - 1.0.8** - it is an ongoing project written by *Raymond Irving* and a core team of contributors **MODX**, now its **Evolution CMS** maintained by a team of contributors at the **Evolution CMS Project**. License ------- [](#license) **Evolution CMS** is distributed under the **GPL license** and is now run by a professional team of developers from all over the world. Visit the Forums for more information. Features -------- [](#features) **Evolution CMS** provides a fast, lightweight and powerful framework to deploy and secure your websites and web applications. For example, it gives you a true system for registered web users and groups that is separate from administration users. You can grant some web users access to one page and others access to another page. For content management, you can easily duplicate documents, folders (and all their children!), chunks and snippets. The most significant, though, is **Evolution CMS's** ability to empower you to quickly and easily create and maintain a rich and dynamic website like never before.
