Our Impressions:
Our favorite thing about Wolf CMS is the immediate page view hierarchy as soon as you log into the CMS. It makes finding and organizing pages drop-dead simple to do. It can allow a non-technical user to edit pages easily while leaving the developer create pages how they want to. Code can be organized into layouts and snippets. PHP developers will like this the most because templates are mostly made up of pure PHP code with little custom templating language to be learned.
Unfortunately, despite some good tutorials, the templating language being PHP may actually be hard for some designers and non-technical users as soon as they want to do something more complicated than displaying pages/posts.

[…] Frog’s development team lately has been mostly absent lately. Use a fork of Frog CMS called Wolf CMS. […]
Strengths: Running version 0.8.3.1 as an orphan from the old Frog CMS, this is a well thought out CMS. Very fast and very light. My favourite CMS to date. If you need a blog, this is it. If you need something much more complex, development of plug ins to make this CMS do your bidding is not overtly complex. What documentation is not there os filled in by the community and their willingness to help!
Weaknesses: Documentation is a bit on the light side.
