This is something I've been tracking. So far, Francisco Burzi is still under the GPL, and FSF has a good track record of enforcing it.
However, I have been looking at alternatives, especially slash, phpgroupware, and postnuke. Slash is rather complex and has a bad history of system upgrades breaking it. phpgroupware was good but they released too many buggy releases - I plan on looking again after it hits version 1.0. I'd like to try postnuke, but their web site isn't very helpful for indicating its features, installation instructions, etc - its just too hard to navigate. I'd like to hear from others that have experience with the various open sourced CMS offerings out there. We can probably put up some sites for testing. --Bruce On Fri, 2003-04-04 at 08:00, Randy Edwards wrote: > Right now a part of the GNHLUG web site runs a CMS package called > PHP-Nuke.
