Here are the answers to the questions that we’ve received during the “FancyCMS Interactive” period.
To recap I’d have to say that the questions were not that technical as I’ve expected them to be :)
I think we’re still opened to any kind of questions – feel free to comment!

1. – Is FancyCMS free or what?
Basically FancyCMS is not a single product: it is being divided into the core itself, the templates and the admin interface.
As we have announced earlier FancyCMS core will be open source and we’ll give it out under free license (more on licenses soon). We’ll also give out two flash cms demo templates for free. And this will happen within the next week !!!
Ok. We have the admin interface and premium templates left. Those will not be free, and, besides, we’ve decided to leave the admin interface for further development and improvement. So it will be released a bit later, than the core.

2. – How does FancyCMS cater for those developers looking for a back end to fit in their front end, is there a class library or something? also do you use xml or a different system for storing data?
Yes, we do use xml for storing data. And the core will have an open source code, which we have tried to make plain and readable. So it will not be an issue to use FancyCMS core to manage your content. Basically that is why it was made open source :)

3. – Are you planning to launch full functional flash e-commerce with the CMS supporting anti fraud check, sales tracking and customers management or should we expect just another dummy script that simply forwards the customer to PayPal?
Yes, we are intending to create the full functional flash e-commerce interface, however it will only be available with our admin panel. The opensource core itself supports PayPal only.

4. – Will you offer flash remoting support?
No, flash remoting will not be supported with the nearest released version of FancyCMS.

5.1. – I would be grateful if you could spread some more light on the process of site editing abilities for unexperienced flash users. I’ve read somewhere at your site that all graphics elements and fonts will be stored in some sort of external file or something. Could you please explain?
5.2. – How friendly is FancyCMS gonna be for the common user (wysiwyg) ?

Fancy CMS is targeted towards developers: opensource core; and the “unexperienced flash users”: user-friendly admin panel with a WYSIWYG editor. However in case you need to do some major tweaking of the design, you will have to refer to the .fla file which will contain all of the design parts.

6. – How many developers are working in the FancyCMS ?
At the moment we have 2 people developing FancyCMS.
