Slash (Weblog System)
Slash
(a
backronym
for
S
lashdot
L
ike
A
utomated
S
tory-telling
H
omepage) is the open source collection of
Perl
scripts which runs
Slashdot
, one of the oldest and most popular collaborative
weblogs
around. Slash was originally written by
Rob Malda
, and is now maintained by
Jamie McCarthy
and
Chris Nandor
, among others. The package is often incorrectly called
Slashcode
, which is the name of the website and
SourceForge
project. Slash is designed to be run on top of the
Apache web server
with
mod_perl
and a
MySQL
database
for data storage and retrieval. It runs
Slashdot
(which has spawned many imitators, called
SlashClones
) and is released under the terms of the
Free Software Foundation
's
GNU General Public License
. Many other websites use various customized versions of this software for their own web forums.
