typoLight review

While TypoLight is most likely a powerful framework, it is over complicated for the average user. The install did not go as smoothly as I had hoped and had to be redone a few times. Installing without a template left me in a place where I had no idea what to do to get a site up and installing with a template added so much content it would take hours to simplify. I wonder if, after you get to know the system you can just start with exactly what you need from a query rather than building it through the interface. It does seem to have a lot of features like event calendar, forms, and support for extension modules. The main issue at this point seems to be a lack of robust support community which is something that could change overtime.
