Slash -- Slashdot Like Automated Storytelling Homepage -- is the code
|
|
that runs Slashdot. More than that, however, Slash is an architecture
|
|
for putting together web sites. It comes with functionality for posting
|
|
articles, conducting polls, having discussions, and more; but it can be
|
|
extended in innumerable ways.
|
|
|
|
Slash is written in Perl, and is built on top of Apache and mod_perl. It
|
|
requires a database backend, though the only well-supported database
|
|
used with it is MySQL (more databases will become well-supported as time
|
|
goes on; PostgreSQL support is already well on its way). Slash is fast,
|
|
scalable, and secure (as evidenced by one of the best test cases you
|
|
could have, running Slashdot itself).
|
|
|
|
Through a plugin system, developers can add functionality to Slash.
|
|
Through themes and templates (which are written using Template Toolkit),
|
|
the look and feel of a Slash site can be customized.
