“lin-x-pert.com announces that it is to open the PHP code that
forms the backend of lin-x-pert.com under the GPL license and begin
development of a GPL web portal application that lin-x-pert.com
will become based on.”

“It was always the intention to make the lin-x-pert.com
source code available to the public
but a few key features
have changed. Rather than simply provide the source code in tarball
in the anonymous FTP archive on lin-x-pert.com, we have decided
that it would be more beneficial, both to us and the open source
community, if we started a project to provide support as well as
speed development.”

“We can now hope to offer a web portal system that can be easily
administrated by the webmaster and will provide features not
present in many other such web applications such as the ability to
track software releases as well as provide news.”
