The first Focus CMS introduction videos are now available
The first introduction videos for the Focus CMS project have been published. They provide a short overview of the system’s goals, structure, and the core ideas behind the project.
The goal of these videos is to give a quick insight into the project for those who are discovering the system for the first time and to help explain the main ideas and principles behind Focus CMS.
