bgEngine: Alive and Well!
For some time now Joseph and I have been working on a little top secret project. While it is not quite ready “yet” to release to the WP community, we feel that sharing with you all now is the right thing to do. Let me explain a bit of history.
About 4 and a half years ago or so, while living in San Diego, Joseph and I set up the classic “garage offices” in the house we were renting at the time. I even cut a hole in the side wall and installed an air conditioner (though it never seemed to cool the space very effectively!). We had long expanses of desks made from file cabinets topped with old doors, white boards and cork boards on the walls and hanging from the open ceiling rafters, and even a couple of Hormel Spam Can Banks that we had to feed with our spare change anytime we mistakenly referred to unwanted, unsolicited junk email as S.P.A.M.. We’ll discuss why this was important when we announce all about bgEmail. I think I still have those Spam Banks with change in them, somewhere!
During those times we were developing our concepts with bgEmail and something that came to be known as SSCT.
Single Source Code Technologies
Our development platform was php-Nuke CMS and the front end marketing of this concept was to be known as “Self Service Nuke” or SSN as we referred to it in-house. Our thoughts at the time centered around the concept that we would create a start site where a small to medium sized business owner could create a site and then apply that domain to our systems. We would engineer the CMS in such a way that new sites would be powered off of one set of core application code. A single code set that would allow us to easily update and maintain a number of client sites while still providing individual look, feels and capabilities to those site/business owners.
