I am very pleased today to announce the launch of ./SlashNews aka SlashNews at https://slashnews.earth
SlashNews is the clone of the historically popular tech news portal Slashdot.org theme / skin for the cms solution powered by Exponential 6.x and software combined from CHND/DiggClone projects under GNU GPLv2+ License.
This software combined is called simply 'Slash'. Slash is very simple yet scales to incredible demands and internal requirements. Slash is open source and soon to be published on GitHub.
Post a new story on slashNews.earth right now and enjoy the freedom of our self publishing and internet voting and link directory / news portal sharing website service to the public for the good of everyone online reading and using it.
About this software (Details behind the story)
This software is now several generations old now, this is the 3rd iteration of the original digg.one and diggClone projects which spawned the CHND/HND Projects before the creation of slash.
So .. I am excited to talk about DiggClone the inspiration for developing an eZ Publish based voting engine based on the existing ezinfocollection system.
That system is called Digg [Sigma] which is based on eZ Publish 6 but technically only for it's support for more modern PHP implementations and ease of use general purpose or generic web development framework and a cms, and cmf and so much more right out of the box.
eZ Publish choice here should not be taken lightly. Many previous efforts to re-implement digg like story voting systems have come and gone over the many years we are talking about here but few remain to provide a stable solution basis for others to use quickly in modern web applications. There was one that matured enough to become it's own interesting solution (i forget it's name offhand from general research searches) but I think it was built in drupal.
With an eZ Publish based solution the future is bright for it's continued growth and redistribution and general end user performance and reliability. We implement so that you don't have too. We write so that it will run virtually untouched for the foreseeable future indefinitely without help just electricity. We write once to solve problems from becoming problems.
SlashNews.earth aka ./SlashNews aka Slash (Engine) simply allows our DiggClone Project to grow faster by providing yet another reference implementation changes (modified only to suite non digg branding, not core functionality) to be integrated into the core build of DiggClone. Our next release work will focus on bringing a real home page layout (templates + css + extras) to clone.digg.one and the installable repository of website source code and the demo database sql data dump file.
Will you build a website based upon eZ Publish and 7x Slash, 7x Digg, Digg [Sigma], digg.one like SlashNews.earth or HackerNewsDelta.com Did to create their own unique social website portal platform in hours not weeks?
Cheers,
