As someone who has used Slashcode for at least three sites I can confirm there *are* drawbacks. 1) Lengthy setup time, and steep initial learning curve, even if you buy the book co-written by chromatic :-) 2) No simple way to modify the workflow (it is set up for the Slashdot.org workflow and no other) 3) Not easy to modify the layout of the main index pages 4) Does not work straight out of the box (but that is perhaps the same point as number 1) I'd seriously looking at Squishdot (a Zope product) for my next slashcode-like site. PS I'm Alex McLintock - not "vroom" - is this a security flaw? or is "vroom" the "Anonymous user"

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
