I thought I would write an update about the state of the project, I currently am using the core of TBCMS to create an ergonomic evaluation portal and the admin dashboard will look similar to the following screenshot, but will have some minor changes as development for TBCMS continues to develop. 



I still have more developing to do and I hopefully will have a big chunk of the interfaces for this project designed and have the server side code done for it by the end of the week. Some features I plan to get done include Content Management with the text editor completed, the shortcode widget interface as featured in my last post, and the updater system.

My other big advise is to not reinvent the wheel. While it's great for learning to make everything from scratch, it's not necessarily the most efficient way to handle such a massive undertaking. You can easily take advantage of other open source assets when creating your project. There's free scripts for just about everything. There's no reason not to borrow/fork/hack from other sources, as long as you fulfill the licensing terms of whatever you're using. It could save you a monumental amount of time, and seeing how other people do things is also a great way to learn.

I do agree, but I am doing this in part for a work project, so I am having to kind of reinvent the wheel and since I am creating an entire core of a content management system, I might as well fork off of that development to minimize what I have already done. There is quite a bit I need to do to finish things up, but the product I've created for work is nearing the final stages of completion, so this will serve as V2 of ergoWare and V1 of TBCMS.
