Welcome to PHP-Nuke! |
| 6 |
|
|
|
| 7 |
|
|
First of all, thanks a lot to download this software, I hope that you |
| 8 |
|
|
can enjoy it. |

PHP-Nuke is free software, released under GNU GPL Licence version 2.0 |
| 11 |
|
|
(see COPYING file for details) |

PHP-Nuke is the result of many years administrating a news site called |
| 14 |
|
|
Linux Preview (http://linuxpreview.org). First, around August 1998, I |
| 15 |
|
|
wrote my own code in Perl called NUKE and used it for about 1 year, |
| 16 |
|
|
then my site goes big, so I needed a more powerfull system and decided |
| 17 |
|
|
to use Slash, the same used in Slashdot site. It's good but you realy |
| 18 |
|
|
need to know Perl to modify it, need too many modules, need to load |
| 19 |
|
|
a damn daemon that sucks all your CPU power. My Pentium III just appears |
| 20 |
|
|
to be a 386 each minute the daemon make its work. Well, then I discovered |
| 21 |
|
|
Thatware, a good project to have a news site under PHP. I learned PHP |
| 22 |
|
|
in less than a week and initiate to modify it. There are too many mods |
| 23 |
|
|
to mention, it was practicaly a rewrite. I added some cool stuff, deleted |
| 24 |
|
|
some others and after more than 380 hours of hard work in 3 weeks! PHP-Nuke |
| 25 |
|
|
was born. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
From August 17, 2000 LinuxPreview.org is owned by LinuxAlianza.com, |
| 28 |
|
|
maybe now I'll have some time to make better PHP-Nuke versions ;) |
| 29 |

|
|
For installation instructions, go and read INSTALL file, also remember |
| 31 |
|
|
to read CREDITS file to know from where comes the things. The TODO file |
| 32 |
|
|
is the list of features that I'll add in future versions, read it also. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
Please, enjoy PHP-Nuke and remember that this is free GPL software and |
| 35 |
|
|
comes without any warranty and without technical support, so please don't |
| 36 |
|
|
email me to ask how to make this or that, I'll ignore that type of emails. |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
PHP-Nuke isn't perfect, but your suggestions and feedback can help all |
| 39 |
|
|
us to have a very well done portal system! |
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: Is good to see some projects based on this software, but |
| 42 |
|
|
there are some that just copied all the code "without modifications" and them |
| 43 |
|
|
removed all copyrights everywhere. If you want to start your project based |
| 44 |
|
|
on PHP-Nuke READ the GPL license. If I see more plagiarists I will have two |
| 45 |
|
|
options, one is to stop releasing PHP-Nuke, and the other one is to rewrite |
| 46 |
|
|
it and release under propietary and restrictive license... Think about it, |
| 47 |
|
|
don't make the GPL sucks like this, ok? The guidelines of the GPL are clear, |
| 48 |
|
|
and for those who released their own "un-modified" version of PHP-Nuke (you |
| 49 |
|
|
know who you are) just four words: STOP VIOLATING THE GPL! and don't steal |
| 50 |

PS: Sorry for my English, I'm not english spoken guy. Also, remember I receive |
| 53 |
|
|
too many Emails, so I can't answer to all you, but for sure I'll read all |
| 54 |
|
|
Emails I receive. |
