Concrete5 is a very powerful & open source content management application which has a different approach in how it works.
It enables users to manage websites while browsing it by simply switching to the edit mode (an overlayed screen). This makes anyone who can use a text editing application administer their websites.
The application uses PHP / MySQL & built with OOP.



With a very easy to use interface, new pages can added, updated or deleted.
A simple yet effective user permission/role feature helps creating admins, editors & other types of users.
There is a built-in versioning system which simply saves the old versions of a page & who created/updated it.
The application supports templates / plugins & there is a community getting more active everyday to get support.
To see the beauty of the application, check this demo.
P.S. Concrete5 is choosen the project of the month in October 2008 by Sourceforge.
MySQL Sidu is a free web based MYSQL GUI similar to PHPMyAdmin.
It has most of the features other GUIs have & besides them MySQL Sidu can:
  • Group tables by first x chars of table names, and which you can control freely;
  • Sort results in 1 column or 2 columns, which you can switch to your favorable mode;
  • Sort & filter results.
 
There are 2 firewall security levels for the GUI for a safer data: user & global levels, that control who can access the application.
For anyone using another web-based MySQL GUI, it is very hard to switch to another tool & you may not need it. But this application has some nice UI features that make some jobs easier and you may want to check.
