PDnH Server and PDnH Business Server
As you’ll be aware, PDnH Server has been in development for six months now, and the first BETA version is almost ready for release and testing by any interested parties. I am currently beginning to write the supporting documentation, using MediaWiki, enabling developers and users to access a vast function and file reference.
PDnH has now become PDnH Server because I am releasing any styling control from the CMS system. After much deliberation I have decided that the CMS should concentrate on Content, not style. PDnH Server now outputs pure content, which can be styled using page templates and CSS. I am currently also looking into PDnH Server streaming content as XML, styled inline by XSLT.
This encourages users to design W3C compliant pages with external style sheets, rather than relying on the system to do this. Most existing large commercial CMS systems produce pages that for the most part are not 100% W3C compliant.
PDnH Server now has a sister project called PDnH Business Server. PDnH Business Server is designed to extend PDnH Server for operations who want to run an online Business Management System that can interact with their existing online web presence, if powered by PDnH Server. There will be more on this soon, but unlike PDnH Server, PDnH Business Server will not be free - sorry folks, got to make my money somehow.
PDnH Server is OpenSource, free and standalone with no prerequisites to operate, other than the system requirements. PDnH Business Server requires PDnH Server as a prerequisite requirement. PDnH Business Server is not free.
