This repository contains the full backend code for a prominent university newspaper's website. It is designed for developers and technical teams managing or building a content management system for a news organization, particularly in an academic setting. The project offers a real-world, production-tested example of a publication's digital infrastructure.

• Production-Ready Codebase: The code is actively used to run a live, high-visibility news site, demonstrating practical implementation of features needed for daily publishing.
• Docker-Based Local Development: Includes a docker-compose setup for quick and consistent local environment configuration, simplifying the process for contributors to get started.
• Structured Plugin Management: Uses Git submodules to manage external plugin dependencies directly from their source repositories, keeping the main codebase clean and making updates more manageable.
• Custom Theme Framework: Built with a dedicated theme for the publication, which can serve as a reference for creating tailored designs and functionalities for similar projects.
• Documented Contribution Process: The repository welcomes contributions and provides clear setup instructions, lowering the barrier for external developers to participate in the project.
