What is Templeet ?

Templeet is an open-source project initiated by Pascal Courtois and Fabien Penso. It allows you to create photo galeries, news systems, personal sites, blogs, etc. Using Templeet, you can generate HTML, CSS, SVG pictures, SMIL, and any kind of text files.

Templeet's strong points are ease of install, performance, and increased productivity through multiple levels of cache. When all caches are activated, performance is similar to serving static pages, ie. around 400 hits/second on a PII 400Mhz processor.

Templeet, is distributed under the free Gnu Public License (GPL) and open source. The latest source code is available through CVS, and discussions about development can be held in the public mailing lists. We do welcome user feedback and additions.

The documentation is currently pretty thin and is mostly only available in French, but it should be enough to get you started... provided you do read French, of course. We'd be grateful to any kind soul who could take the time to translate it into English (note: it gets better, so you can still take a look).

Only a few examples of templates are provided, but they should be good enough to give you a rough idea of what you can do with Templeet. If you need help, members of the mailing lists could provide support in a timely manner. You can also take a look at the available packages, and if this is your first Templeet installation, we invite you to read the documentation.
