Maintainer/Sponsor sought for new Web Content Management System
Greetings folks. It's been suggested to me that I send an email to this
list seeking a volunteer to act as Maintainer/Sponsor for a Web CMS that
I'm lead developer on. It's a pretty mature project (under development
for over five years) and is released under the GPLv3 license. As far as
I know there is no other similar free software package available; all of
the competition is (very) expensive and proprietary.
It manages collections of photo stories and video clips of an adult
nature and contains:
- a Complete search/retrieval system
- Extensive web-based content/collection management tools
- Extensive APIs implemented in both Perl and PHP5
- a customisable example web site template
- command line collection management tools
- a download system
- Complete database schema with documentation
- Massive Documentation library (approx 450 pages)
We've released .deb packages via our sourceforge download area for the
last couple of releases, so the build architecture should only need
tweaking.
There's already a fairly active discussion going on over on the webapps
list about some of the security and permissions issues involved.
I do not feel it is appropriate that I myself become the maintainer as I
think it needs the checks and balances of someone else reviewing the
releases before they come out.
Hopefully someone with an interest in the area will be prepared to come
forward and take on this package. You can find out more by emailing me
directly or visiting the project pages at http://wacsip.sourceforge.net
and/or https://launchpad.net/wacs
We are currently planning on a new release (0.8.5) for mid-March.
Cheers
Beaky
