Werc is a minimalistic RESTful content management system implemented as a collection of shell scripts written in the rc shell and taking advantage of other Plan 9 tools available on *nix systems as part of "Plan 9 from User Space". It is designed to be fast, simple, convenient, and easily extensible (you can easily integrate your own dynamic content with the rest of the site). It handles both small and big sites well, including seamless multi-domain handling. All data is stored as plain text files without need of a database and there is support for blog directories with automatic RSS feed generation (and multi-feed aggregation).
