I am looking for a basic open source CMS to build a social bookmarks site like Delicious. I need just basic functionality:

  1. Users should have pages like site.com/username where titles and links for the bookmarked sites will be displayed.
  2. Ability to check who else added a specific URL to the bookmarks.
  3. Bookmarklet to quickly add a site URL to the bookmarks.
  4. RSS for the users bookmarks.

I do not need tags, comments, ratings and other complex functions.

I'm looking for the solution for three days in a row, but many projects are closed or are not maintained for a long period of time.

I'm not a programmer, but I can tweak PHP code, HTML and CSS. So it will be better if the CMS is written in PHP, but other languages and frameworks (like Ruby on Ruby on Rails or Django) will be fine too if the CMS is simple.

I recommend you to look at this page:

http://www.codefear.com/scripts/social-bookmarking-script-digg-clone/

List of popular bookmarking clones. Free content management.

Especially Pligg that was nominated last year for best CMS.

    Pligg is good for building sites like Digg where voting process is important. I'm looking for more simple solution but thanks anyway. I'll try to adapt Pligg too if I don't not find better CMS. –  Jan 23 '10 at 20:55
  • removing features is easier than adding it . pligg has a powerful core architecture , btw u should decide what to use in face of features u r looking for – Farshad Jan 24 '10 at 04:09

  • GetBoo is a little bit clunky and its admin panel is strange but if I don't find anything better I'll try to modify GetBoo. –  Jan 23 '10 at 20:04

Try Scuttle. Installation instructions are in the ReadMe file.

There is also SemanticScuttle, which is a very active fork of Scuttle.
