mod_crescent is the core of the crescent virtual community system.

Tested on Solaris, OpenBSD, Linux and Win32. It has a high speed cache to make your db happy.

What's this Crescent thing anyway?
Crescent is a virtual community system. A few years back the buzz word was "portal", later came "content management systems." Crescent loosely fits into those categories as well. But Crescent's main goal is to provide the foundation for online, interactive communities.

Crescent consists of mod_crescent, an apache module that provides authentication support; the CFS abstraction and it's handlers and user management tools.

The CFS which stands for "Crescent File System" works much like the file structure on your home PC. At the very top level is the root folder, the contents of this folder and all other folders in Crescent are displayed in the main part of the browser window. Much like the Windows Explorer or the Macintosh finder the CFS uses different icons to visually represent the various file types found in each folder.

Clicking on some of these icons will lead to things with which you can interact such as surveys and forums while others will lead to other directories, which will, most likely, contain more icons.

Under Crescent, everything is done through the CFS Crescent can easily be configured to provide as few or as many of it's features as you would like to use.
