The system permits non-technically minded users to arrange content in pages and layouts, containing 'Assets' ([[applet]]s) which permit [[website]] visitors to view and interact with various types of data from basic Articles to full-blown [[Contentcontent management system]] and [[Webweb application|custom applicationsapplication]]s.

In July 2014, Scott Walters proposed a project on [[Kickstarter]] to bring the nascent Version 8 rewrite to a formal release with a supporting [[free software]] community.<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2083389021/create-perl-competition-to-the-php-content-managem</ref> Version 8 is, according to the Kickstarter project page, "a massive modernization effort that reworked core to use [[Moose (Perl)|Moose]], [[Plack (software)|Plack]], Try::Tiny" along with a general code cleanup. The project achieved its [[crowd funding]] goal on July 16, 2014.
