> Package: SPIP
> System name: spip
> This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

> SPIP is a free publication system on the Internet, mainly targetted

> needing any HTML skills (except for defining the layout templates).
>
> SPIP works using PHP and MySQL on a standard Web server (e.g. Apache).
>
>
> Functionalities :
>
> - Eases management of a magazine-like Web site (i.e. a hierarchy of nested
> sections
> containing articles and short stories), rather than a simple news feed.
>
> - Separates the public site from the administration space. The latter can be
> accessed
> by two kind of registered users : writers (who can submit articles and short
> stories,
> and comment pending submissions) and administrators (who validate submissions,
> manage the site structure and configuration...). It includes a small
> messaging
> system between registered users.
>
> - Graphical layout in the public site is defined by an arbitrary number of
> HTML skeletons
> (or templates) that
> each define a different page type (usually : one for articles, one for
> sections,
> etc.). The automatic insertion of redactional content by the engine into the
> skeletons
> is defined by
> specific HTML pseudo-tags. HTML skeletons can also contain PHP code.
>
> - Nearly every configuration and administration task (including installing in
> itself - no

> texts
> involves using some convenient
> typographic shortcuts so that no HTML skills are required to incorporate
> bold/italic text, subtitles, hyperlinks, footnotes and even images uploaded
> by the writer. The only task that requires a bit of technical learning is

> HTML skeletons (though there is no need to understand PHP).
>
> - The public site includes interaction possibilities : forums (comments
> can be posted under articles, short stories, even sections), petitions.
>
> - A two-level caching system on the public side for template compilation,
> and page generation. This helps SPIP keep the resources taken on the
> server very low, even with high traffic. On a typical low-end server, cached
> pages take no more than some tens of milliseconds to return to the browser.
> The cache system is also designed to keep a working site when the database
> is down (useful for cheap web hosting...), though of course no
> dynamic functionality is then available (e.g. forums and back-office).
>
> - An integrated lightweight fulltext indexation and search engine, which
> incurs
> no noticeable slowdown when enabled.

> Language :

C'est étrange comme on est poli. Tu as oublié nos orages.
C'est vrai qu'elle est jolie. La nuit, as-tu la même râge ?
