Widgy: Open Source Python/Django CMS Framework

This seems to be built on top of Mezzanine--in fact, the word "Mezzanine" appears in the upper left-hand corner in the admin in the demo.

Is this some kind of fork of Mezzanine, or is there something else going on here? Is this meant to run on top of Mezzanine? In spite of similarity in the admin, reading through the code quickly doesn't seem to reveal any clues (or much of any similarity at all with the other project).

If you were curious as to how it is integrated with Mezzanine, here are some links:

* https://github.com/fusionbox/django-widgy/blob/master/widgy/... - the widgy_mezzanine "contrib" app. It provides a Page subclass that has a WidgyField on it.

* http://docs.wid.gy/en/latest/tutorials/widgy-mezzanine-tutor... - a tutorial for getting started with Mezzanine and widgy.

It's not a fork. It's using Mezzanine to structure the tree of pages, but Widgy is used to edit content on the pages themselves.

Basically, we made a really good content editor and wanted to get running quickly, so put our content editor in a Mezzanine page type. However, Widgy is a generic tree editor so potentially could be used for the page tree too.
