## Notes

CppCMS is a C++ web development framework for web sites and web services; its home page says it is not a CMS. Web pages are written in the framework's own template language. The framework is built from source with a C++ compiler and CMake, and the build finishes with `make install`.

An application's run function keeps the process serving until it receives a signal, so the application is a long-lived server process. The project is maintained by Artyom Beilis.

## Worth knowing

The home page says the project is MIT licensed from version 1.2 on, and the earlier licenses are not stated on its pages. The site is served over plain http, so the record links no homepage or documentation.
