Just checked out the homepage:

--- snip ---
Minimal server requirements are as follows:
- Apache web server
- PHP 4.0.6 or later (see below) with safe_mode=Off -
  register_globals=on - no open_basedir restriction
- MySQL Database
--- snap ---

This definately does not sound like a perfect idea given the needed
requirements out of a security point of view. Is the product worth
inclusion anyway, has the code been audited?
