SLASH: The Slashdot
Code
The source code for the site is called "Slash". The Slashdot Like Automated
Story-telling Homepage. We've set up a site, using Slash, devoted to the
development and use of Slash. Check out Slashcode
for all of your Slash needs. The latest patches, bugfixes, documentation,
FAQs, and everything else will always be on Slashcode.
You can find a list of sites that use Slashcode on the Slashcode
site list.
Importing of Slashdot Headlines
For those who don't know, you can get slashdot.rdf
or slashdot.xml to receive
a list of headlines for Slashdot. The document is fairly self explanatory,
and the rules are simple:Do whatever you want, but don't access
the file more than once every 30 minutes. The server is plenty bogged down
without adding a hundred stock tickers refreshing themselves every 60 seconds.
If your automated loading of slashdot becomes too much of a burden on our
servers, you run the risk of having your IP banned, so play fair!
Programs that use the Ultramode
These programs are provided as-is. They aren't mine, so don't ask questions
