• 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
