TownPortal 0.1

An interesting new open-source project called TownPortal is under development. The first release, version 0.1 has been announced.

"The alpha release is mostly feature-complete, but lots of tuning will still be needed for installation and user interfaces. Midgard experience is required for installing and using the package."

TownPortal provides a dynamic content-driven site structure that is managed with the Aegir CMS content management system, it works under the Midgard open source application server. TownPortal is organized as a Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) system.

The system currently has the following features:

• Support for community information pages.
• Home Pages for people and groups.
• News capabilities.
• Support for photo galleries with management features.
• An event calendar.
• Support for registered users.
• Personalized user features including user calendar.
• Support for Finnish and English user interfaces.
• A localization tool for adding new languages.
• A fully-configurable portal layout.

TownPortal is licensed under the GPL, it may be downloaded here. The screenshots page shows the system in action. If your town or group needs a new web site, TownPortal looks like a nicely organized system.
