| Description | resource summary | <P> <B><A href="http://squishdot.org">Squishdot</A></B> is a news publishing and discussion product for <A href="http://www.zope.org"><B>Zope</B></A>. It creates a place in your website where people can post short articles, news items, announcements, etc. as well as hold threaded discussions about them. In other words, <B>Squishdot</B> is a <B><I>weblog</I></B> product. <BR><BR> <H3>Squishdot Features</H3> <P> Squishdot is a Zope Product, i.e. it works as a plug-in module for the Zope Application Server. It provides you with a news publishing and discussion site with a minimal amount of configuration and day-to-day administration. It is also easy to customize and can satisfy a wide range of news publishing needs. </P> <P> Like Zope, it is being released under an <A href="http://www.opensource.org">OpenSource</A> license. You can use, modify, and redistribute the source code for both commercial and non-commercial purposes following the terms imposed by the license. </P> <P> Squishdot was inspired by <A href="http://slashdot.org"><B>Slashdot</B></A>, a news publishing and discussion website (i.e. a weblog website) focusing on technology and the open source movement. While I credit Slashdot with many of the ideas I have used (e.g. navigational structure, mode of interaction, look-and-feel), I must make it clear that Slashdot is <B>NOT</B> in any way affiliated with, nor does it endorse or support Squishdot. <B>DO NOT</B> request any support or submit bugs, enhancement requests, questions etc. to Slashdot regarding Squishdot. Instead, send all email regarding Squishdot to <A href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>. </P> <P> I have used the look and feel of Slashdot to serve as a starting point, a showcase, of what can be done with Squishdot. As I get more suggestions and ideas for improving the application, I hope to develop its own look and feel and make it more effective in its goal of disseminating information and fostering discussion. </P> <P> In terms of the actual source code, Squishdot has been derived from <B><A href="http://www.zope.org/Products/Confera">Confera</A></B>, a threaded discussion Zope Product and it retains or extends many of the features included in Confera. These include : <UL style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 3pt;"> <LI>moderation options : both articles and comments moderated; only articles moderated, or no moderation at all <LI>search by author, topic, title or words in the article/comment body <LI>automatic article expiration (articles automatically deleted X amount of days after posting) <LI>attach files to articles and comments. </UL> <P> In addition, several features have been added: <UL style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 3pt;"> <LI> subject topics -- you can create subject categories to group together related articles <LI> subject topic images -- you can optionally associate subject topics to images <LI> additional fields have also been added : a department field and a summary text field <LI> preview postings button/panel <b><sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red">*</span></sup></b> <LI> RSS/RDF channel page included (for content syndication) <b><sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red">*</span></sup></b> <BR>If you wish to find out more about RDF/RSS and content syndication, visit the <a href="http://my.netscape.com/publish/">My Netscape Network</a> page. </UL> <P><b><sup><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red">*</span></sup></b> New for version 0.3.0 <P><B>IMPORTANT NOTICE:</B> SQUISHDOT Version 0.3.0 will not work with Zope version 1.x.x -- it will work only with Zope 2.0.x and higher. </P> |
