Hi,
Release 1.1 of Pier is now available: www.piercms.com/install
What's new: - Several bug fixes - New syntax constructs - New and whiter stylesheet - Pharo inside
www.piercms.com also received a face lift, and it received some new documentation.
Have fun and tell us what you think.
Doru and Lukas
Nice logo!
The front page of piercms.com states that Pier is "free as in beer", a phrase that means "gratis" as opposed to "libre". However, since Pier is under the MIT license, it is also "free as in freedom". Some might find this confusing; I did.
Cheers, Josh

I tripped over the exact same thing. "Free as in beer" is commonly used to refer to closed-source freeware (or even adware etc.). And nothing on the front page clarifies the license, so if someone saw this for the first time they would mistake it for something proprietary. My first thought was "oh, they changed the license?" Which of course is the opposite of reality, being MIT-licensed makes Pier more liberal than most other open-source projects.

Home page looks good but www.piercms.com/install brings up an error (404?) for me:
The requested object <code>/seaside/install</code> was not found on this server.
