Aiki Framework "is a flexible PHP + MYSQL (LAMP) content management framework that allows designers and programmers to easily create and work with existing content management systems from the web."[5]. The Fabricatorz Open Production Company is its commercial steward and has used it to build Open Clip Art Library 3.0[6] and the now public Open Font Library[7][8]. Both sites using Aiki Framework were publicly announced at Libre Graphics Meeting 2011.
The core of Aiki Framework does not have to be PHP. There is preliminary support for a Ruby-based core, and developers have begun developing C++ versions of the core in order to generate binary executable websites.
The goal of Aiki Framework is to make a fast system for developing heavily trafficked communities where developers are used to editing source code, but can not directly because of necessary security precautions in running a web server.
