PostNuke is an Open Source multi-lingual Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP and licensed under the GNU General Public License. PostNuke software dynamically manages website content submitted through browsers. PostNuke has been rated as "IBM Server Proven" by IBM (Click here for more details) and is currently the only Open Source CMS to have attained this status.

PostNuke allows administrators to work dynamically within a structured environment to rapidly deliver diverse content including articles, links, news, job boards, frequently asked questions, resume listings, dynamic headlines, weather forecasts, file download areas, and much more. PostNuke reduces web site development costs by introducing sophisticated administration tools & services which separate form, function, content, and design.

Utilizing the ADODB database abstraction layer (http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB), PostNuke connects to many different database management systems (DBMSs) (including MySQL, SQL, PostGRESQL, among others) providing convenience and flexibility for internet/intranet implementations of any size. Designed from the ground up to be modular, scalability is a key feature of PostNuke. Modules can be 'bolted' into the web site with very little configuration, making it a snap to add new features.

The PostNuke development community is world-wide, active and dynamic. With over 120 active developers spanning five continents and more than thirty-five languages, PostNuke's development draws from the best & brightest of the open source development community.
