Radiant (software)

Radiant is a free software content management system written in Ruby created and designed by John W. Long as a Ruby on Rails web application. While suitable for the non-technical user, it also provides elements for more advanced users.

Radiant has a lightweight core library with "extensions" providing additional customised functionality. Because extensions do not modify the core, upgrading is simplified; With over 200 extensions in the extension registry it can be adapted for a range of uses including membership management. All the content is stored inside a database. It is possible to use MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. Radiant depends, like every Ruby on Rails application, on the installed adapters for the database.

It is distributed via a separate download or installable with RubyGems.

Two PHP ports of Radiant CMS are available as Frog CMS and Wolf CMS.

Design

Radiant projects are based on 3 elements: Pages, Snippets and Layouts.

Pages: Pages hold the body content and can include multiple page parts such as a sidebar. Radiant allows arrangement of pages according to any hierarchy. For example, if Radiant is used as a blog, all blog entries are Pages inside the Radiant system, arranged to reflect the actual structure of the content. For the non-technical user WYSIWYG Page editing is available as an extension

Radiant (album)

Radiant is the third studio album by Atlantic Starr. This collection featured the hit single "When Love Calls" and the quiet storm staples, "Send For Me" and "Am I Dreaming." Keith Sweat's group, Ol' Skool covered the song in 1998 featuring Sweat and R&B girl group Xscape on their eponymous debut album and Xscape's Traces of My Lipstick. This album also teamed them for the first time with veteran Motown producer James Anthony Carmichael, best known for his work with The Jackson 5 and The Commodores.

LMNO

LMNO was the working title for a video game in development by Electronic Arts, notable for Steven Spielberg's involvement in the project. The partnership with Spielberg, first announced in 2005, was to produce an action game with an aim to evoke emotion, described as "a mix of first-person parkour movement with adventure and role-playing elements and escape-focused gameplay, all involving the player's relationship with an alien-looking character named Eve".

The project was officially announced as cancelled in late 2010, although sources place the actual date that work ceased on the project as being around a year earlier.
