It is a content management system inspired by Ward Cunningham's Wiki idea. Whereas most wiki implementations (and there are hundreds) use a textarea in a web page for editing, with a command language for formatting, Cozmos uses a full installed 'Thick' application for editing and pushes back the pages using an extended web technology called WebDAV. Like Wikis, Cozmos separates content from presentation/style. Unlike Wikis the actual language of the content is HTML which is the language of the web itself.
