I am looking a different options for creating a hobby club portal. I currently have slashcode, plone(Zope), squishdot (Zope) and xoops running in "pilot site mode". I was looking at the phpSlash demo and documentation and was wondering if there is still active development going on or if the project has been finished/abandoned ? According to the roadmap, it is about 2 releases behind schedule. There are so many CMS/Portal/Weblog projects out there, and one of the criteria I'm using (and, no doubt, a lot of other people) is how active the development is so that there is a greater probability of timely bug fixes and new features. Thanks for any info you can give me! Dennis Heltzel |

A release candidate for the next version is going to be released soon. The release and testing cycle of phpSlash is pretty slow. However this has proven to have stable releases with few bug reports. Another CMS project recently moved to using the phpSlash codebase for much of its underlying framework. The Back-End project has been one of the most popular on SF.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/back-end/ > According to the roadmap, it is about 2 releases behind schedule.

New features have been slower. phpSlash has focused much on the publishing aspect and building a flexible framework. This has paid off in many ways. It is easy to build sites that look completely different than other phpSLash sites. However for your particular use one of the other projects may have modules that provide something you need or a pretty theme out of the box. > Thanks for any info you can give me! > The upcoming release does have many new features so stay tuned. thanks, Joe > Dennis Heltzel > |
