OpenSourceCodebases

This page contains a list of open source Content Management Systems (CMS) codebases.
Indymedia specific codebases are detailed here.

• Drupal - tool for community built web sites

• Joomla - building on code from widely used Mambo cms makes full use of web interface for admin.

• PhpNuke - has been used by several sites attempting to jump start the process.

• PostNuke - a fork of phpnuke, with more co-operative development. Seems to be flourishing, and has many architectural advantages over phpnuke. See it in use at Mad Hatter's IMC

• Xaraya - web application framework useful for creating community web sites and other functionality useful to IMCs

• PhpSlash - What phpNuke forked from. However it's now template driven and using phplib's session management.

• Slashcode - powers slashdot.org

• Scoop - powers kuro5hin and infoanarchy

• Squishdot a Zope product to create a community weblog, modeled after Slashdot

• Plone Zope based CMS

• Zope is an application server as opposed to page server, it is slower than page server but they can be combined. Has more robust security model and easier to build web applications with.

• mod_virgule which powers Advogato

• SPIP - SPIP (with addon 'spip.indy') is powering IMC Nice, Nantes, Lille, Paris (and others) site and powers Le monde diplomatique or uzine - Program and docs in multi language. You can see it working in the at Nice. The Project website (open publishing software coded within/for Indymedia network)

• Campware

• Movabletype ( not free as in freedom software )

• Envolution A non-GPL fork of PostNuke v0.714 ( not free as in freedom software )
