Slash (software) explained

Slash (Slashdot-Like Automated Storytelling Homepage) is a content management system, originally created for Slashdot, one of the oldest 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

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]

Rehash remains primarily under the GNU General Public License and anyone can contribute to development.[4]

SoylentNews is a fork of Slashdot using a 2009 fork of the Slashdot engine.[5] Michael Casadevall (NCommander), is a New York Ubuntu core developer,[6] and SoylentNews Public Benefit Corporation (SN PBC) president.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

On 22 May 2023 NCommander announced that SoylentNews will be shutting down on June 30 of that year.[12] [13] However, the decision was reversed in an announcement made on 5 June 2023.[14]
