So I will probably never be able to use radiant :-(
Requiring JS breaks overall radiant accessibility. Isn't JS mostly
used to shrink the content tree ? This would be great to relax this,
by providing simple fallbacks for people without JS support in their
browser, see quotes below.
Requiring JS would also break "no-fluff" and "minimalistic" claims,
IMO.
So how could I bypass the admin view requiring JS ? Is there a way to
manage content offline ?
I'm looking forward to see radiant as the first accessible Rails CMS !
Thanks for your attention,

experience when run on a platform that supports it, they are not
there to replace the job of the server in the first place"
