It seems to be based on a simplified version of partuza's code for the application logic, service adapters, container javascript, etc without the MVC stytle seperation of the SQL / PHP / HTML code , caching, mod_rewrite type fancy url's, etc that partza has, but with some added functionality like albums, messaging and mail sending.
Astha, I will always encourage any and all branches, offspring and inspired products based on Partuza, that's what it's mean and completely in the spirit of open source, so I'm very happy to see it was useful to you. However one thing I hope you will be able to correct, all of Partuza's files are licensed under the Apache License v2, which requires you to keep the license headers in tact when re-distributing the code, which seem to be missing from your files, also you are required by the license to to carry an attribution to the original code (something like: "This code is based on a modified version of Partuza's code, which is available under the Apache License 2.0 at http://code.google.com/p/partuza";). See http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 for more details. Besides the legal aspect it's good manners too when you use someone else's code to build your project with to attribute them, right? :) Thanks in advance & congrats on the cool project! -- Chris On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Erel Segal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can you please describe the differences between Esprit and Partuzza? > > 2008/9/10, Astha Bhatnagar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > Esprit is one of the few open sourced SNS built in php.
