PHP-Nuke: Web Portal System 1.0 =============================== 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 (see COPYING file for details) written in PHP. 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 **** daemon that ***** 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. 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 to ask 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. -- Francisco Burzi
