Family Connections - it is actually family related CMS, pretty interesting ha? This CMS was made for people with little to no web design experience to create a fully functional, feature packed, family website.

So that they could keep in touch with family and friends from all over the world. It even has own calendar so you will never forget your wifes birthday or anniversary again… and that is good thing!

Some more features include:

1. Share pictures on the Photo Gallery
2. Communicate with friends and family on the Message Board
3. Keep track of birthdays and anniversaries on the Calendar
4. Store addresses and phone numbers in the Address Book
5. Create a blog with the Family News section
6. More…

So I guess it’s pretty neat peace of code for those who travel a lot, or maybe leave in other country.

Good news e107 users, after the closure of e107hacks on December 31st, the site has been taken over by another e107 user and brought back online for the benefit of everyone who wants to use it.

Taking over from Oz, who had done a fantastic job of building up a range of mods from various different authors across the e107 community, my name is Simon Paul and I own and manage NSNO.co.uk which is perhaps the most widely used e107 site on the net.

The easiest, award-winning cms has just been updated! If you are new to scripts and CMS you should really try e107 its very intuitive, easy and yeah - its free!

Speaking about new release, developers said that this is probably last release from the 0.7 branch. Although users been complaining about e107 releases being nothing but bugfixes or security releases, this is as well bugfix release BUT! this release makes e107 completly or 99% bug free and it is really solid release.

When new 0.8 version will be available? Nobody knows, not even developers:

So, when will 0.8 be out? Good question and we have no answer. There’s a lot of new code there, but not really any new features there yet either. However, with not having to worry about the 0.7 branch anymore, we can now devote our full efforts on 0.8.

as you can see there is no “new features” promise in that statement as well… unfortunately…

What is pligg you might ask… well… it’s a digg.com clone… no wait, it really is, but you can use it as cms as well…

What is new?

• core improvements and a lots of bug fixes - pretty much explaining itself
• slight change to the installation process - guess what? when installing you can select language, pligg will connect to the Pligg servers to download the most up to date language pack
• Template Management - Now you can download and install templates instantly, just like in IPB. You can even repackage them
• Akismet anti-spam - just like WordPress
• Captcha module for registrations - which allows for different types of Captcha methods to be used
• Agree-to-Terms - allows you to set up a user agreement upon registration.

After all, you can understand that this is best release of Pligg yet, So GET IT and start producing niche digg.com clones.
