sifbuilder
sifbuilder is a program aiming to facilitate the declarative definition and automatic generation of Web sites. It incorporates a scriptable installation framework, an automatic installer, a package management system, remote execution facilities, a declarative Web site definition model based on XML, a module generator and a test environment. The sif framework allows defining the core, modules, blocks and content of a WCM site in an XML file. sifbuilder takes that file from a URI and automatically downloads the packages and creates the site.
