|

What software did Linode use to create the library, was it a mod of some existing PHP/MySQL thing or custom written?
I have to admit, I'm pretty jealous of it :D |

I like Drupal and Wordpress, but I was looking for something like the Library for documentation/explanation at work. |

What specifically are you looking for? Looking at Linodes library I really don't see what is beyond Drupal's scope. Actually it's a pretty basic set up, what features specifically are you looking for? |

The Linode Library is an internally developed system built with a whole lot of Perl, a little bit of SQLite, and a good measure of git. Thanks for your comments! Alas, it's not ready for general use, but we're quite proud of it and have enjoyed using it quite a bit.
One of the things that we like the most about the Library system is that it builds a static site based on a collection of source files and a templating system. The good news about this is that there are other applications that are built with this kind of use case in mind. Consider things like Ikiwiki <http://ikiwiki.info/>, Jekyll <http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/tree/master>, and Hyde <http://github.com/lakshmivyas/hyde/tree/master> as they do similar sorts of things--albeit a bit differently.
Cheers,
Sam |
