Fancy starting your own WikiPedia.org with the very software that runs Wikipedia?

Or perhaps you’d like to start a cutting edge e-learning site without spending a cent?

Good news for you blokes! Here’s the cheapskate’s haven:

http://www.opensourcecms.com/

Welcome to the world of free, usable and efficient.

At OpensourceCMS, you’ll find full featured PHP scripts that run multimillion dollar sites. These scripts undergo the scrutiny of hundreds of programmers at a daily basis so you can rest assured your installation constantly evolves.

There’s no fee to use software like Joomla, Drupal, Media Wiki et al. Just download, ftp to your server and enjoy!

One thing I loved about this site is that you can give each script a testdrive. That way, you ascertain there’s a match between their features and your needs. No time wasted getting something you’ll just delete later on.

My top faves:

For portals: Joomla
For Wiki: MediaWiki (drives WikiPedia)
For Forums: PhpBB

Rev your downloads!
