Last night's DLSLUG meeting

[Ted Roche]

A dozen of attended Jonathan Linowes [1] presentation of Xaraya [2],  
a content management system that's growing into a web application  
framework. Xaraya is licensed under the GPL, based on PHP 4, a fork  
of PHPNuke, with support for SQL engines like MySQL, PostgreSQl and  
SQLLite.

Jonathan gave a good overview slideshow of the features, history and  
design goals of Xaraya and the brought for display a number of sites  
he had developed in Xaraya, showing the administrative access and the  
interfaces for adding and modifying content.

Xaraya released version 1.0 in November of 2005.

The product is well worth a look for folks looking for a community  
site or CMS and a bit more (blogs, wikis, RSS, polls, etc.).

Thanks to Jonathan for the presentation and to Bill McGonigle for  
organizing the meeting!
