Turck MMCache for PHP version 2.3.20 is released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=296199

    Turck MMCache is a PHP Accelerator, Optimizer, Encoder and Dynamic
    Content Cache. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them
    in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost
    completely eliminated. Also it uses some optimizations for speed up of
    PHP scripts execution. Turck MMCache typically reduces server load and
    increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times. It has been tested
    with PHP 4.1.0 - 4.3.2 under Linux and Windows with Apache 1.3 and 2.0.
    Optimizer for ZE2 was implemented. Optimization of extension_loaded()
    was fixed for encoded scripts. Optimization of was fixed.
    "mmcache.compress" configuration directive was added to enable or
    disable cached content compression. "mmcache_password.php" and
    "encoder.php" now can work from web and from command line. Proper
    "__FILE__" handling in encoded files was implemented. PHP constant
    MMCACHE_VERSION was introduced.

convmv 1.05 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/130479/

    convmv converts filenames (not file content), directories, and even
    whole filesystems to a different encoding. This comes in very handy if,
    for example, one switches from an 8-bit locale to an UTF-8 locale. It
    has some smart features: it automagically recognises if a file is
    already UTF-8 encoded (thus partly converted filesystems can be fully
    moved to UTF-8) and it also takes care of symlinks. Additionally, it is
    able to convert from normalization form C (UTF-8 NFC) to NFD and
    vice-versa. This is important for interoperability with Mac OS X, for
    example, which uses NFD, while Linux and most other Unixes use NFC.
    Though it's primary written to convert from/to UTF-8 it can also be
    used with almost any other charset encoding. Note that this is a
    command line tool which requires at least Perl version 5.8.0.

    world of modern generic programming. It offers a new implementation of
    std::valarray optimized for the Altivec. Even with Altivec
    optimizations off, it is almost 2x faster than gcc, due to the ruthless
    weeding out of redundant loads and stores. Much of the code base is
    cross-platform and the Altivec optimizations are encapsulated in a
    traits class, making it straightforward to target other vector
    processors like Intel SSE2, GPUs, etc. The Mach copy-on-write vector is
    a partial specialization of std::vector for the Mach allocator. It
    neatly uses the OS vm_copy facility to "get around" thread
    safety issues when doing copy-on-write and reference counting. As a
    result, std::vector can be copied, passed back by value and enlarged
    without the same overheads.

Slashcode
Slash on server running Livejournal?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/0035257

    Maybe this is the wrong venue to ask in, and I'm sorry if it is, but
    this question has been nagging me for about the past week or so. I have
    a personal server running Slackware 8 with a custom-compiled Apache
    1.3.27 (with the appropriate mod_perl) and MySQL 4.0.13. This server is
    currently running the LiveJournal server code and works quite well at
    this. I'm interested in attempting to set up slash for personal use
    (the Livejournal code is running for personal use as well), and herein
    lies the question. Can slash be run on the same server in another
    VirtualHost without having a separate apache installation/process and
    doing some fancy trick with mod_rewrite? Or am I asking too much? I
    will be happy to provide any further info anyone needs through e-mail
    (the e-mail link above is NOT spam-armored at all).

Tuxedo.org Now running Slashcode
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/2014232

    Tuxedo.org is now running Slashcode. I should have done this a couple
    of years ago... Most recent story is Linus Torvalds Comments on SCO
    Lawsuit and Linux. Hope you all enjoy the new site! --Chuck Peters 

Best hosting service for Slash?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1449209

    I'm going to be doing some "big things" with Slashcode but am
    interested in going through someone to set up Slashcode and the server,
    so that I can just right in and start building the site. What are the
    best hosting services out there? Will they set up Slash for me? What
    kinds of experiences have people had? 

Dissociated Press goes Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1442252

    After a bit of poking and prodding, I've converted Dissociated Press to
    Slashcode (2.2.6). Works great! 

So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237

    All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
    last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
    Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
    I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
    ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
    for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
    still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
    be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
    The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great! 

Spottedrabbit.com
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1756251

    After much kicking and screaming, yet another Slash Site! The Spotted
    Rabbit with news and events for Sussex County NJ, and Orange County,
    NY. It still looks a lot like basic slash, but I'm new to this, and
    we're working on it! --Ken Hall 

Multiple Instances
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/10/1543202

    Please indulge a beginner. I currently have slashcode setup on a single
    domain with its own IP address (wwwntm.biz) for testing purposes. Here
    is my dilemma. I am setting up a community similar to yahoo/geocities.
    It will be www.newthoughtcommunity.net and the individual communities
    will be sub-domains of this domain ex;
    community1.newthoughtcommunity.net, community2.newthoughtcommunity.net
    etc Residents of the communities will be set up as users ex;
    http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user1,
    http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user2 etc. Directory is:
    /home /newthoughtcommunity /community1 /community2 I know that slash
    can be setup with virtual domains, but can sub domains have there own
    instance. I need each community to have their own slash. Also. When I
    set up a new instance of slash for a virtual domain, do I use the same
    database and administrator with a new virtual user when I run
    DBI::Password? Thank you for any help you can offer John --John Macuga 

section as subdomain (2.2.5 based install)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/06/1444236

    Hello, I have a slashcode version 2.2.5(*) based site under my command,
    for which an extension is planned, that would fit well in an isolated
    (isolate=1) section with a few modified templates put in the
    section-page (like header;etc;default). I managed to configure a second
    virtual host that uses the same SlashVitualUser directive as the
    main-server with the sectionname as subdomain (etc.myslash.company),
    overriding the rootdir-variable using SlashSetVar and enforcing the
    section using SlashSetForm: SlashSetVar rootdir //etc.myslash.company
    SlashSetForm section etc Everything works fine so far... I just
    wondered if it is safe to use the same slash-site (db and all) within
    two virtual-hosts. And I wondered the more if there isn't an easier way
    to accomplish this. As far as I understood mod_perl there shouldn't be
    any problem, but asking the masters seldom hurts but the professional
    pride... * I did fix the released security-holes!. tia,kind regards
    tomte 

Barrapunto.com see the light with 2.2.6
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/03/150251

    It has been hard, but after playing a little with all the
    configuration, we have reached a good balance in Barrapunto.com and now
    our users are very happy, the journals start to be filled with contents
    and the editors now are more active. We feel that the key was to serve
    the images from a differente machine, something that points to
    saturation in the connections for our main machine. Now the performance
    is very good with 70.000 pages/day and a PIII with 1 GB RAM with Slash
    and MySQL and a simple PC serving the images.
