Bug#260524: ITP: axyl -- The Axyl web development platform



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

I've already uploaded this, but forgot to file the ITP for
it, so here it is now... sorry!

The upstream developer is also in the New Maintainer queue, and
we have gone back and forth with a few revisions prior to my
recent upload.

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan.


* Package name    : axyl
  Version         : 2.1.0
  Upstream Author : Paul Waite <paul@catalyst.net.nz>
* URL             : http://axyl-demo.catalyst.net.nz/

  Description     : The Axyl web development platform

Axyl is a website development tool aimed at developers. It provides a
framework for all the commonly required elements: user sessions, menus and
security, database connections (with DB-independent layer) and versioned
content management (includes the HTMLArea wysiwyg editor), together with a
large set of building blocks and frameworks for building content delivery
applications.

An additional benefit is complete integration with Lucene, the industrial
strength text search engine. Axyl comes bundled with the latest stable
version together with a specially written LuceneServer which listens on a
port and services XML transactions for indexing and searching content. This
allows a developer to readily build a website which supports searching
across archives of 10's of millions of documents or more.

Axyl also uses a template-driven approach and themes, both of which allow
the  creation of websites which separate the look from the functionality.
A  page can therefore be coded once, but serve information up in multiple
guises.
