During the set-up you will see references to Frontier. Frontier is the technology core behind both Manila and Radio UserLand. Its a powerful Web content management system, built around an object database, scripting language, script editor and debugger, outliner, multi-threaded runtime, and integrated HTTP server.

Manila is an application built on Frontier technology that makes is easy for you to create, edit, and publish web pages. Our goal is to make the software do the tedious and repetitive work, so that you can be creative and more productive.
