A: What is it worth to you?
A: The site is driven by an all original PHP content management system. The system works somewhat like a blog system such as Wordpress, somewhat like a wiki such as Mediawiki, and somewhat like a traditional full-scale content management system such as Drupal -- but much simpler.
A: Actually, some add-on components add extra muscle. Add-on components include the Disqus comment system, OpenX advertising management package, SimplePie RSS parsing package and WebCalendar, an open source event management package.
A: PHP, HTML, CSS and Javascript are each programming languages created by consortiums that released standards and coding systems to the public. These new languages make Web programming a venture that any reasonably intelligent and dedicated person can now persue.
A: An extremely granualar read/write access system lets us assign writers permission to easily create new pages using a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIYG) editor, much like what you might typically use to write e-mails. We have restricted access pages for administrators, a group system that lets us assign people and permissions to groups, several transclusion systems that let us easily add content to pages yet allows members to edit that content without breaking complex page layouts.
