What is MyUserGroup?

MyUserGroup is the solution for whoever wants to create a portal for his or her user group. We've simplified the process of deploying a web-site for your group by creating a MySQL-driven, self-installing web portal in PHP. In a matter of minutes, you can have a themeable, flexible web-site for your group that can handle all your group's:

• Events and calendar items
• Announcements
• Links
• User Profiles
• Screenshots
• Articles

With special features like:

• An RSS XML feed
• Mozilla Sidebar

News

• 19 April 2003 Links module completed. Update your CVS trees. Now admins can add/edit/remove links from the links page right inside the admin zone.
• 11 April 2003 PHP developer needed. We are looking for a developer to help complete some of our final features. If you're interested, contact David Smith.
• 10 April 2003 MUG is finally up in SourceForge's CVS server. Browse it or check it out.
