- PHP-Nuke: Web Portal System
- ===========================
-
-
- Welcome to PHP-Nuke!
-
- First of all, thanks a lot to download this software, I hope that you
- can enjoy it.
-
- PHP-Nuke is free software, released under GNU GPL Licence version 2.0
- (see COPYING file for details)
-
- PHP-Nuke is the result of many years administrating a news site called
- Linux Preview (http://linuxpreview.org). First, around August 1998, I
- wrote my own code in Perl called NUKE and used it for about 1 year,
- then my site goes big, so I needed a more powerfull system and decided
- to use Slash, the same used in Slashdot site. It's good but you realy
- need to know Perl to modify it, need too many modules, need to load
- a damn daemon that sucks all your CPU power. My Pentium III just appears
- to be a 386 each minute the daemon make its work. Well, then I discovered
- Thatware, a good project to have a news site under PHP. I learned PHP
- in less than a week and initiate to modify it. There are too many mods
- to mention, it was practicaly a rewrite. I added some cool stuff, deleted
- some others and after more than 380 hours of hard work in 3 weeks! PHP-Nuke
- was born.
-
- On August 17, 2000 I sold LinuxPreview.org to LinuxAlianza.com and now
- I have all the time to dedicate to the development of PHP-Nuke.
-
- From January 2001 to January 2002, PHP-Nuke has been financially
- supported by MandrakeSoft, the folks that made Mandrake Linux. This gave
- me and PHP-Nuke a lot of oxigen and made possible a lot of stuff.
-
- Now, I'm alone with this killer project. There is a lot of help from
- the people that uses and develop modules and themes. Now, phpnuke.org
- is a big site with a lot of users and helpful information for any
- user around the world. There is also a strong user's community sites
- in almost any language you can imagine. Just go to phpnuke.org and
- enjoy this great community!
-
- For installation instructions, go and read INSTALL file, also remember
- to read CREDITS file to know from where comes the things. The TODO file
- is the list of features that I'll add in future versions, read it also.
-
- Please, enjoy PHP-Nuke and remember that this is free GPL software and
- comes without any warranty and without technical support, so please don't
- email me asking how to make this or that, I'll ignore that type of emails.
-
- PHP-Nuke isn't perfect, but your suggestions and feedback can help all
- us to have a very well done portal system!
-
- PS: Sorry for my English, I'm not english spoken guy. Also, remember I receive
- too many Emails, so I can't answer to all you, but for sure I'll read all
- Emails I receive.
