Content and Forum Management

Hi, my name is Vector Thorn. I have been working on some information management systems that i will launch my SaaS oriented (but not limited to) company with. I have been a Linux user for a few years now, and am somewhat evangelistic about it. I am a huge php fan, and have started developing my own "framework" with it. While i have been slaving away for free for the last year (when you develop your own products, you're not making any income until they are finished) i have been wondering what i can do to ensure quality feedback as to the usefulness of my systems, and how i can contribute to the causes that i find so useful. So i've been keeping my eye on large open source projects that i feel would benefit from my systems, and would have a large number of users, for stress testing purposes, and who could provide quality feedback about the usefulness and quality of my systems. There would of course be a mutual benefit to that organization or project. The services in question, pertaining to your cause, would be my User Forum Management System (UFMS), Website Content Management System (WCMS, which can be thought of as a hybrid between an anonymous wiki, a standard CMS, and a blog), and the User Accounts Management System (UAMS). Obviously, these would come with a hosting account. There is no need to host an entire domain on my servers just to use these systems, as you can just point a subdomain to them to use them (for example: wiki.php.net or forums.php.net or users.php.net). As the system is updated with new features and enhanced features, they are instantly in effect for all users of the systems. The systems stay pretty much bug-free, until a new feature is made live, or an existing feature's enhancements are put live. The systems have automated bug reporting built in, so there is almost never a need for user input on bugs. To be quite honest, not even once has that need arisen, as the bugs are usually fixed faster than the user can get to the contact form. The user is also notified when the bug is fixed. There is NEVER any setup, or configuration by the client. The client literally --and i DO mean literally-- points and clicks to administrate their services and its users via a very ergonomic interface. Most abuse is also automatically detected by my systems, and the users are automatically banned. Unlike other forums and content systems, abusive content can be safely and IMMEDIATELY removed, and without SEO repercussions. Most administration is also autonomously handled by the clients delegated maintainers (aka, Moderators, Managers, Contributors, Editors, Administrators, etc), with no need for client intervention. These services may not be ready for commercial use for another month, but they are almost ready for public testing right now. Until they are ready, you will not find any documentation about them on the Ionisis website (for obvious reasons), but feel free to contact me in you would like more information. If you would like to test drive the services, i would more than welcome it; the only stipulation being that your testers would provide quality feedback about their experiences with the systems. If you would really like to "try it on", you could also point a temporary subdomain, like "tester.php.net" or "temp.php.net" to the servers, and i can integrate the systems into a page with your existing site's design. If you later decide that you like the services, you can just update your subdomain records to the name you want to permanently use. Thank you for your time, and let me know if you are interested. -- http://eInformationOrganizer.com * http://TheReformProject.com * http://LinuxIntro.com * http://Ionisis.com * * Denotes that the website is being completely rebuilt, and is in testing...
