Some design discussing happening on SFActiveDesign
uses mysql, object-oriented php4, aimed at developing a set of classes that can be used to build indymedia websites
can be run stand-alone, or as a server with a number of sites sharing the same code directory, with local templates and cache directories. requires the ability to modify php.ini
caching and templates are a design goal, although not fully implemented. separation of presentation and logic is a goal.
multilingual support is about 80% there, with existing support for Spanish, catalan, french, italian, dutch, serbian, turkish, portuguese, slovak and English
web-based administration of any number of newswires, with the ability to have topical, thematic, internal & hidden categories, as well as local/global/other separation. Publishing in multiple categories is possible
web-based management of any number of homepage or feature page center columns, with automatic searchable archiving
web-based administration of articles, including the ability to hide articles but display them on a "hidden" newswire
web-based administration of spam control, including the ability to send a "poison cookie" to a repeated spammer
supports a large number of MIME-types
internal search engine that seems to be pretty fast, a lot of search options on all pages
an integrated calendar/events system with web-based administration
RDF/XML syndication (also per category), works with the new global indymedia system
presentation controlled by CSS; users can set their preference of any number of themes
XHTML-compliant
tech skills or server access (ftp/scp/ssh/html) NOT required for basic site upkeep
