Geeklog vs. PHPnuke: A Brief Review

Authored by: FlightSimGuy on Sunday, December 15 2002 @ 08:57 pm EST

Heres a hypothetial scenario that\'ll hopefully make it clearer to you why people fork..
Say, I wanna extend GeekLog to include new features that that delve too deep into the core, and can\'t be done with the API. So I modify the core directly and attempt to release those modifications as modified files (the custom users.php, comment.php, etc.) GeekLog developers refuse to accept them into the standard core. The next official GL release comes along and by this time, I\'ve extended my library to, say, 6 features, none of which can be done with the API.
Now to get them to work with the new version, I\'d have to make a complicated series of modifications (remember, these new features were released as modified files from the GL core). And the GL developers still refuse to include any of them in the next release, preferring to focus on refining the core rather than new features.
Then I say enough. I make my own release with all 6 features integrated and call it, say, BlahLog 1.0. From that point onward I continue on my own path with my own goal of adding as many cool features as possible to every release.

..And there you have it. :)
