There is precisely nothing new about this idea, even though this code might be fresher.

It would be interesting to hear how this thing addresses some of the shortcomings of the other inline editing components out there and how this is better.

It is certainly not a new idea, even we did our first implementation years ago. The main new thing here is that Create is completely backend-agnostic, only using RDFa to communicate content structure from server to editing interface, and Backbone.sync to communicate changes back to the server.

But apart from that, what sort of shortcomings are you particularly concerned about?

Backbone.js huh =) We should get you on the homepage.

Submit a pull req or contact me on GitHub.

Would be nice to have a list of RDFa compatible backends.

[bergie]

Backends don't need to be RDFa-compatible in any other sense than being able to contain the RDFa attributes in their HTML templates.

[jsilence]

Rewording: Would be nice to have a list of CMSes or content stores which already provide plugins, themes, gizmos to insert RDFa attributes into the content.

Indeed. I created a system that worked like this in 2003.

(it looks well done and it's interesting, but it's not a 'new kind of editing interface')
