[phpslash-users] Back-End Module for phpSlash

[Mike G. <mi...@op...>]

Hello Folks,

I'm on the verge of releasing a number of modules for phpSlash, as an
extension of Back-End.org.  

It should allow folks to add photo galleries, hierarchical
article/section indexes, links directories, file upload capacity, and
even an online template editor to an existing phpSlash site (Mind you I
haven't tested this yet, but theoretically it should be possible).

In the future I can also see adding the online Bibliography & Profiles
directory that I built based on phpSlash 0.6.2.

There was a lot that I really liked about phpSlash's code structure, so
rather than trying to build something scratch when building the next
version of Back-End, I thought it would be better to build on an
existing and stable code base.

I'm about to release the code I've developed so far (along with your
code and phplib).  However I've got a couple outstanding questions.

1) What the heck should it be called.  Can't really say that it's
generated by either Back-End or phpSlash for all of the pages.  Would
like to give credit where credit is due and work towards a stronger
common code base, but what the heck to call it...

2) Would be very nice to have some announcement on SF about this.  If I
could put out some common news update, I think it could get attention
for both projects.  However what would that look like.

"Back-End adopts phpSlash code base for next release series.  Back-End
modules can add ... to news sites.  Allows for browser friendly,
flexible CMS ... "

3) Would be really nice if folks would be interested in looking over the
code and trying out the modules that we've developed.  If you're
interested, please let me know.  I haven't yet released the code to SF
as I've been wanting others to take a look at it and install it before
doing so.  If you're interested, just send me a note outside of the
list.

Best example of the site right now is here:
