Geeklog is an open source CMS/weblog application, written in PHP and using MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MS SQL as the database. Originally developed for a security portal, security has always been our main focus. Geeklog has a small but dedicated core development team and a lively community of users and developers contributing patches, plugins, and other add-ons. The main website for Geeklog is www.geeklog.net. We also have some very active international communities in Japan, France, and Germany. The Japanese community even published a book about Geeklog. While Geeklog may be one of the lesser known CMS, it does power a few high-profile sites, e.g. Groklaw. We also know that it is used quite a bit in company intranets and as a web application framework.
