-----------------------
- rewrote the comment/discussion code:
* comment navigation should be less confusing now additional/alternative display and order methods have been added.
* modules can be extended with a "comment system" as they can embed the existing comment code without having to write duplicate code.
- added section manager:
- added sections and section manager:
* story sections can be maintained from the administration pages.
* makes the open submission more adaptive in that you can set individual post, dump and expiration thresholds for each section according to the
story type and urgency level: some section do not really "expire" and stay interesting and active as time passes by, whereas news-related stories are only considered "hot" over a short period of time.
* story sections make the open submission more adaptive in that you can set individual post, dump and expiration thresholds for each section according to the story type and urgency level: some section do not really "expire" and stay interesting and active as time passes by, whereas news-related stories are only considered "hot" over a short period of time.
- multiple vhosts + multiple directories:
* you can setup multiple drupal sites on top of the same physical source tree either by using vhosts or sub-directories
- added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's karma or Scoop's mojo.
- added "search infractructure":
- added "user ratings" similar to SlashCode's karma or Scoop's mojo:
* all rating logic is packed into a module to ease experimenting with different rating heuristics/algorithms.
- added "search infrastructure":
* improved search page and integrated search functionality in the administration pages.
- added translation / localization / internationalization support:
* because many people love see their website showing a lot less of English, and far more of their own language, drupal provides a framework to setup a multi-lingual website or to overwrite the default English text in English.
- added fine-grained user permssion (or group) system
- added fine-grained user permission (or group) system:
* users can be granted access to specific administration sections. Example: a FAQ maintainer can be given access to maintain the FAQ and translators can be given access to the translation pages.
- added FAQ module
- changed the "open submission queue" into a (optional) module
- various updates:
* improved account module:

<DT><B>What is a FAQ?</B></DT>
<DD>
The <I>Online Jargon Files</I> written by Eric Raymond define a FAQ as:
<P><B>FAQ</B> /F-A-Q/ or /fak/ n.<BR>[Usenet] 1. A Frequently Asked Question. 2. A compendium of accumulated lore, posted periodically to high-volume newsgroups in an attempt to forestall such questions. Some people prefer the term FAQ list or FAQL /fa'kl/, reserving FAQ' for sense 1.</P>
<P><B>RTFAQ</B> /R-T-F-A-Q/ imp.<BR>[Usenet: primarily written, by analogy with <A HREF=\"#RTFM\">RTFM</A>] Abbreviation for \"Read The FAQ!\", an exhortation that the person addressed ought to read the newsgroup's FAQ list before posting questions.</P>
<P><B>RTFM</B> /R-T-F-M/ imp.<BR>[Unix] Abbreviation for \"Read The Fucking Manual\". 1. Used by gurus to brush off questions they consider trivial or annoying. 2. Used when reporting a problem to indicate that you aren't just asking out of randomness. \"No, I can't figure out how to interface Unix to my toaster, and yes, I have RTFM.\" Unlike sense 1, this use is considered polite.</P>
<P><B>User</B> n.<BR>1. Someone doing `real work' with the computer, using it as a means rather than an end. Someone who pays to use a computer. 2. A programmer who will believe anything you tell him. One who asks silly questions. [GLS observes: This is slightly unfair. It is true that users ask questions (of necessity). Sometimes they are thoughtful or deep. Very often they are annoying or downright stupid, apparently because the user failed to think for two seconds or look in the documentation before bothering the maintainer.] 3. Someone who uses a program from the outside, however skillfully, without getting into the internals of the program. One who reports bugs instead of just going ahead and fixing them.</P>

<DT><B>What is $site_name all about?</B></DT>
<DD>$site_name is a news and discussion forum. It is a <I>tool</I>. And as a tool, it aims to create an environment to make discussions possible. $site_name is not an organization, but a non-profit hobby project instead.<P>People log in to the site, read the news, select one or more items and start to discuss and post their reactions. $site_name is a community site that relies solely on reader-contributed content.<P>First off, we strive towards discussion rather then to deliver news on its own: discussion can really make a story considerably better as users' comments frequently `upstage' the story itself.<P>Secondly, we aim towards a high quality of content and content posters by using and experimenting with several techniques and systems such as trust metrics, scoring, moderation and collaborative filtering.<P></DD>
<DT><B>Who runs $site_name?</B></DT>
<DD><P>$site_name is powered by our engine \"drupal\" which was originally created by ". format_username("Dries") ." and is written primarily by ". format_username("Dries"). " with some help from others like ". format_username("Jeroen") ." and ". format_username("UnConeD") ." who helped creating themes. The bandwidth and hardware are donated by ". format_username("Natrak") .". Together we are $site_name and if you want to get in touch with the $site_name team, you can contact us at <A HREF=\"mailto:$site_email\">$site_email</A>.<P></DD>
<DT><B>Isn't $site_name similar to slashdot.org and kuro5hin.org?</B></DT>
<DD>To some extend, yes. Credit where credit is due: we borrowed many ideas (like the interface and moderation) from <A HREF=\"http://slashdot.org/\">slashdot.org</A> and <A HREF=\"http://kuro5hin.org/\">kuro5hin.org</A> because they have many good ideas about discussion forums. We do not use their code or any permutation thereof as $site_name has been written entirely from scratch. Our goal was to create a similar base initially, and to go from there and to transform $site_name into something different by adding new and unique features.<P></DD>
<DT><B><A NAME=\"moderation\">Why moderation, trust metrics and collaborative filtering?</A></B></DT>
<DD>To help individuals and communities address the challenges of information overload.<P>As each new piece of information competes for attention, people quickly tend to become overwhelmed and seek assistance in identifying the most interesting, worthwhile, valuable or entertaining items. Not to mention the fact, reader-contributed content and other levels of interactivity tend to become chaotic, bloated and disreputable.<P>Therefor, we decided to develop a public system powered by a community that aims to bring quality content to everyone's attention and to filter out all junk: to <I>sort the wheat from the chaff</I>. The output should be something clean and homogenized featuring quality content, and should slide down the gullet far more easily. Another objective is to provide a customized service according to public and individual preferences, whether expressed or inferred.<P>Yes, you are right: it all sounds a bit idealistic, not to mention hypothetical. However, don't get this wrong: this isn't a new concept, various such systems exist nowadays (like <A HREF=\"http://slashdot.org/\">slashdot.org</A> or <A HREF=\"http://www.kuro5hin.org/\">kuro5hin.org</A>). We just happen to want our own system.<P>Last but not least we, the $site_name team, don't want the responsibility to manually review each post and to select the ones worthy. Systematic editing by individual editors is nice and dandy if they get paid for it or if you they some time to kill. After all, we are not writers, critics nor reviewers for that matter; we are programmers, designers and technicians.<P></DD>
<DT><B>How does submission moderation work?</B></DT>
<DD>Anyone who drops in and has some news or some thoughts they'd like to share, can submit new content for consideration. After someone has submitted something, their story is added to a queue. All registered users can access this list of pending stories, that is, stories that have been submitted, but do not yet appear on the public front page. Those registered users can vote whether they think the story should be posted or not. When enough people vote to post a story, the story is pushed over the threshold and up it goes on the public page. On the other hand, when too many people voted to drop a story, the story will get trashed.<P></DD>
<DT><B>How does comment moderation work?</B></DT>
<DD>If you create an account and log in, you will be able to moderate comments. This lets you assign a score to a comment on how good you think the comment was or how visible you think it should be. When more than one person rates a comment, the overall rating is just a simple average of all ratings. Comments with a high ratings are more visible than comments with a lower rating. That way, comments that gain the approval of participants will gradually move up through statistical effects, while pointless comments will sink into oblivion.<P>Hence, the purpose of comment moderation is two-fold: <UL><LI>To bring the really good comments to everyone's attention.</LI><LI>To hide or get get rid of spam, flamebait and trolls.</LI></UL>In the latter, comment moderation provides a technical solution to a social problem.<P></DD>
<DT><B>Why would I want to create a user account?</B></DT>
<DD>No $site_name participant can use his own name or handle to post comments until they sign up and submit their e-mail address. Those who don't may participate as `$anonymous', but they will suffer numerous disadvantages, for example their posts beginning at a lower score.<P>In contrast, those with a user account can use their own name or handle and are granted various privileges: the most important is probably the ability to moderate new submissions and to rate comments. Also, registered users can tune the site to their personal needs. For instance: they can select one of the available themes to alter the look-and-feel of the site or they can fine-tune the values of various settings to their likings.<P></DD>
<DT><B>I forgot my password, what do I do?</B></DT>
<DD>You should be able to get it from the <A HREF=\"account.php\">account page</A>. Just type in your username, hit the 'E-mail password' button and your password will be whisked off to your e-mail address. If, however, this doesn't seem to be working, contact us at <A HREF=\"mailto:$site_email\">$site_email</A>.<P></DD>
<DT><B>I have a cool story that you should post, what do I do?</B></DT>
<DD>Check out the <A HREF=\"submit.php\">submission form</A>. If you fill out that form, your contribution gets shipped off to the submission queue for evaluation, <A HREF=\"#moderation\">moderation</A>, and possibly even posting.<P></DD>
<DT><B>How reliable are the stories and comments?</B></DT>
<DD>There is one big problem with user-contributed news and comments: `reliability and quality'.<P>The stories are not likely to suffer from this problem as they tend to provide links to other sites that are reputable and have dependable information that can be trusted. The problem with reliability is probably in the comments people post. Sometimes they are helpful, accurate, and even amusing, but other times they are not. Comments stand out as a good idea and can really make a story considerably better, but we have to face the facts. Not all comments add value to a discussion: some are redundant, off-topic or even completely fake.<P>We try to address this problem by experimenting with trust metrics, moderation and collaborative filtering. Thus, we aim towards a high quality of content and content posters by using and experimenting with several such techniques and systems.<P></DD>
<DT><B>Why was my comment deleted?</B></DT>
<DD>It probably wasn't. It probably just got moderated down by our army of moderators. Try browsing at a lower threshold and see if your comment becomes visible.<P></DD>
<DT><B>I found a bug or encountered a problem, what do I do?</B></DT>
<DD>Write us a bugreport or send us a patch! Writing a good bug report takes patience, but doing it right the first time saves both you and us time. It is most helpful when a good description of the problem is included in the bug report. That is, a good example of all the things you did that led to the problem and the problem itself exactly described. The best reports are those that include a full example showing how to reproduce the bug or problem.<P></DD>
<DT><B>Is the source code of this site available?</B></DT>
<DD>This site is powered by <A HREF=\"http://www.fsf.org/\">Free Software</A>; including <A HREF=\"http://www.apache.org/\">Apache</A>, <A HREF=\"http://www.php.net/\">PHP</A>, <A HREF=\"http://www.mysql.com/\">MySQL</A> and <A HREF=\"http://www.linux.com/\">Linux</A>, and is inspired by several <A HREF=\"http://www.fsf.org/\">Free Software</A> projects. Therefor we have decided to make the software engine of this site, called <A HREF=\"module.php?mod=drupal\">drupal</A> available under terms of GPL.<P> The source code and more information about <A HREF=\"module.php?mod=drupal\">drupal</A> are available <A HREF=\"module.php?mod=drupal\">here</A>.<P></DD>
<DT><B>What features does the engine have?</B></DT>
<DD>
<LI>A theme system: the entire website is fully themable in terms of colors, layout, look-and-feel and mark-up.</LI>
<LI>A user account system with session management, secure authentication, human-readable password generator, user and page preferences, comment tracker and so on.</LI>
<LI>A discussion system: supports different display modes (<I>threaded</I>, <I>flat</I>, <I>nested</I>), order modes (<I>newest first</I>, <I>oldest first</I>, <I>highest scorings first</I>), comment moderation, customable HTML-support, etc.</LI>
<LI>An open submission queue and submission moderation.</LI>
<LI>An embedded diary system.</LI>
<LI>Anonymous reader/poster support across the entire site in case visitors prefers to remain anonymous or in case cookies are disabled.</LI>
<LI>An administrator section which is considered the control center of the website.</LI>
<LI>A database abstraction layer: allows the website to run on top of different database systems.</LI>
<LI>A RDF/RSS backend which allows third party websites to become <I>channels</I> in your website with a minimum of extra work.</LI>
