About SPIP

SPIP is a content management system originally built for online magazines and collaborative websites. It emphasizes ease of use for non-technical editors, with a built-in WYSIWYG editor and a templating system that separates design from content. The software handles articles, sections, newsfeeds, and user contributions out of the box.

SPIP runs on PHP and MySQL, and it includes features like automatic generation of RSS feeds, a built-in search engine, and a flexible skeleton-based template system. It supports multilingual sites, has a plugin architecture for extending functionality, and integrates with external authentication systems. The software is actively maintained by a community of developers.

SPIP is open source under the GPL license, making it free to use and modify. It is particularly popular in French-speaking countries for running news sites, school portals, and community platforms. The project was started in 2001 and continues to receive regular updates.
