Geeklog is "Open-Source software that works as a Weblog, CMS or Web Portal."[3] It is written in PHP and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server as a database backend.[3][4][5]

History

Geeklog has historically focused on "performance, privacy, and security."[6] In March 2010, the Geeklog project slogan was changed to "The secure CMS." in an effort to more accurately reflect the differentiating features compared to other content management systems.[7] Other Geeklog features include "comments, polls, calendar, web links, content syndication, and more."[3] Geeklog supports the Trackback and Pingback standards as well as content syndication by way of the automatic publication of RSS Feeds.[8] Geeklog (in a manner similar to Movable Type and pMachine) allows one to "set fine-grained permission levels for each individual user."[9] Geeklog is also "easily extensible via a modules API."[10]

Many web hosting companies "automatically install open source blogging applications like Geeklog" "as part of their basic Web site packages."[11] As such, it is "one of the more popular choices for a Web-based Content Management System along with Wordpress and Drupal."[12] Geeklog is available to many webmasters since it is included with the well-known commercial web hosting software installer Fantastico[13] that is bundled with many web hosting plans, although installations of Geeklog via Fantastico may have support issues.[14][15]

Geeklog is still under active development, as evidenced by its acceptance as a mentor organization into the Google Summer of Code[16] [17] for years 2007,[18] 2008,[19] 2009,[20] and 2010.[21] Geeklog is the content management system used by notable web sites such as Groklaw and Mac OS X Hints which have been in continuous operation since 2003 and 2000, respectively.[22][23][24][25]
