practices and therefore leverages the flexibility and pluggability of the Zope Component Architecture to allow deep customization and extension.
In order to be immediately useful, Flint follows the Plone lead by providing ready to use content management and public interfaces.

Besides Plone, Flint is inspired by three other pragmatic and light-weight CMSs which aim for flexibility while remaining easy to learn: Radiant (Ruby on Rails, see http://radiantcms.org/), Página-1 (a pre-CMF Zope Based CMS developed by Hiperlógica), and Django, which although is not a CMS comes quite close with it's powerful and ready to use admin interface.
