WebAPP

The Web-APP project was started in 2001 by WebAPP's founder, Carter Brown, and was based at Carter's own personal home page website.

The founding group came up with the name "Web-APP" (or "WebAPP" for short), an acronym for "Web-Automated Perl Portal".

The group came up with a beginning design and a code base for the script which was originally based on PoAS (Perl on all Site) by Luckie Aria Argathama, which was in turn based on YaWPS (Yet another Web Portal System) by Adrian Heissler.

In early 2002 web-app.org was created to host the project. In November of 2006, Carter ran out of time for Web-APP and passed the project over to Jos Brown, a major contributor since May 2004, long term Project Manager, and maintainer of the web-app.org website during all uptime since February 2005.

The Web-APP dev group intend to carry forth Web-APP's legacy as an Open Source Perl project with a simple coding style that is easy to work with for Perl beginners and experts alike.

We hope to continue development of the WebAPP project and the Web-APP community in this manner for long into the future, to help build Web-APP into its fullest potential as a full featured Perl Web Portal system.

But WebAPP ... More

I've been playing around with Version 0.9.9.9, cleaning up code, adding some things, taking care of the ("security risk").

Now I'm stuck in thought about uploading it to GitHub, it's our basic structure, and doesn't seem to change along ... More

Well it seems we've lost some steam, but that can only be expected cosidering we lost in my opinion the best coder/html person WebAPP ever had. Jos I miss you, we all miss you, and yet we wish you well and the very best on whatever you are doing now. And ... More
