Opus

Opus is a content management engine_[1] developed by The Hug_[2] which lets you publish one or more web sites in your web space, each of which can include an online newspaper. Each site can have a different look and feel. Sites can have multiple authors. A web front end allows authors to write new articles without any need to learn HTML.

Opus is designed to be easy to install on a hosting ISP's server. You don't need shell access, there are no dependencies, everything you need is in the tarball, you just need an ISP who offers a web server with PHP_[3] and MySQL_[4].

Opus was developed to publish a web site and online newspaper for the village of Milton_[5] and it also runs this site. Quite a few sites have since been developed, both by us (e.g. the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies_[6] and Ormiston Children & Families Trust_[7]) and by other designers (e.g. Bognor Regis_[8]) using Opus and we continue to improve and enhance Opus so it can be more and more widely used for content rich sites.

Opus: an accomplished work, a creation, an achievement
