Slash (software)
Slash (Slashdot-Like Automated Storytelling Homepage) is a content management system, originally[when?] created for Slashdot, one of the oldest[when?] collaborative sites on the Internet. Slash has also been known as Slashcode.[1]
Slash is a set of modules, plugins and applets — scripts or programs executed by the server — written in Perl.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Early versions of Slash were written by Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot, in the spring of 1998. Andover.net bought Slashdot in June 1999.[3] Work was done by Brian Aker, Patrick Galbraith and Chris Nandor, resulting in version 2 of the software, released in 2001.[citation needed] Until 2009, Slash was maintained by Jamie McCarthy and Chris Nandor, among others. The original codebase was abandoned in September 2009.[citation needed]
