Aegir (software) - Definition and Overview

Aegir

Aegir (formerly known as Aegir CMS) is a web-based administrative and content management interface to the Midgard Open Source Content management system. It provides features like multi-company databases and WYSIWYG capabilities for content editing.

Aegir was originally developed by Hong Kong Linux Center under the name of Nadmin Studio but was released to the Open Source community under the GNU General Public License in 2003.

Aegir is also bundled in the Midgard Lite distribution.

"Aegir" is also the sea god of Nordic mythology. The name was chosen because most initial developers of Aegir come from the Baltic region.
