Community Portal software

[Peter Scott]

Telecommunities Canada has released its "Community Portal" software to the
world.  This software is "open source" and thus available to everyone.  
It requires a server running Linux or other versions of UNIX, Perl and
MySQL.

For those without servers the software is available for use at several
sites, including http://portal.tc.ca/ The portal template currently
supports English, French and Spanish, while channel content may be in any
language.

Telecommunities Canada acknowledges the support of Industry Canada in the
development of this software.

There are several copies of the software already running on various
servers.  See, for example:

portal.tc.ca
portal.bccna.bc.ca
portal.victoria.tc.ca
portal.prcn.org
