Pligg V2.0

Pligg V 1.0 information here.

Demo's coming soon.

A complete rewrite of Pligg has been started to
- improve performance
- ease templating
- improve language support

There are 2 'editions' that I am working with at the moment.

Not MVC) Rewritten code with various freely available classes. Not using Smarty or TemplateLite. Turns out we don't use most of the features and we simply don't need it.

MVC) Rewritten code using the CodeIgniter framework. Anyone not familiar I encourage you to checkout these videos. I've tried Cake, Symphony and Zend but I felt most 'at home' with CodeIgniter.

Code is available for review, just PM me.

Both 'editions' are at the same point in the development process. Both can
- work with Beta 9.x data
- display stories
- allow voting / unvoting
- allow submitting of stories
- allow register / login / logout

Both 'editions' are 10-100 times faster than the Beta 9.x series even without any caching enabled.

We have not decided which 'edition' to continue with. At this point in time, it looks like we will go with CodeIgniter due to the enormous amount of 'classes / features' that comes with it, and it took much less time to develop than 'non mvc' 'edition'.

Both versions are far enough along to support a 'feature request' site run on Pligg V2 for submitting / voting on new feature requests.

more information (and maybe better editing) (and maybe less single quotes ' ) to come.
