eZ Publish Basic is an open-source project to modernize the classic eZ Publish 2.x CMS, bringing its functionality up-to-date with PHP 8 standards while retaining its simplicity and community-focused design.
This project is led by 7x and aims to ensure the long-term viability of eZ Publish 2.x for community portal solutions and their future portability (export to another cms).
