The development team is pleased to announce the release of CubicWeb
3.0.0 (nicknamed ShowTime).

What is CubicWeb?
-----------------

With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!

CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the
LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing
components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design
principles.

Its main features are:

* an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
* a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
* a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/
text generation,
* a library of reusable components (data model and views) called
cubes that fulfill common needs,
* the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
* the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion
and Mercurial for storage backends.

Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today,
supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a
proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes
quality,
reusability and efficiency.

The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.

The hacker will join development at the forge_.

The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a
CubicWeb
environment.
