After a year or so of 'Next week it'll be ready' answers to people
asking when we were going to release the evolt source code, I'm happy to
say "It's ready.. Mostly" :)
What: the content managment system that runs the evolt.org website.
written entirely in cold fusion, activley maintained at
thesite at lists.evolt.org mailing list(
http://lists.evolt.org/mailman/listinfo/thesite ) and released under the
GNU Public License(GPL)
What else: its totally fitted to our needs, only works with oracle for
now, and isn't very well commented. Its also not plug-and-play, you
*will* need help getting it running :) (hence the mailing list)
Where: http://thecode.sourceforge.net (i have no html skills :)
Where else: http://lists.evolt.org/mailman/listinfo/thesite
Who: If you're looking for a custom build CMS like evolts and dont have
the time/skill/money to build/buy/lease your own.
Who else: If you're interested in contributing back to making the CMS a
better product. DB folks, pixel wranglers, HTML/CSS monkeys, testers,
documentation writers, developers - no matter what your skill set or
skill level, you can help out!
Why: evolt has always been based on openness and sharing with the community
Why else: it would be cool to get improvements, bugfixes, and ideas back
from the community at large :)
So if you've got the time and the willingness to give a little something
back to evolt, i urge you to join thesite mailing list, say hi, and
start pitching in!
Feel free, as always, to shout if you have questions or comments :)
