Forking WordPress

Forking WordPress

I’m interested in forking WordPress because I like PostGreSQL much better than MySQL or MariaDB. PostGreSQL has enough features that it can almost function as a CMS all by itself!

If you’re not familiar with WordPress, find out about it here: WordPress.org

So, I’m going to call this new project “pgCMS!” I’m not going to use any paid plugins. All of the plugins I develop will be completely free of charge and will remain so forever.

I’m looking for people to help me with this project. Don’t have any money to offer you, unfortunately. But this project is something I firmly believe is desperately needed.

I’m just getting started with learning PHP, which I’ve heard is the primary programming language used in WordPress. I’m not the best programmer, but I’m a self-taught Electronics Engineer since the age of ten, and a self-taught computer programmer since 1983.

I’m looking for some altruistic programmers, willing to work on this, not for money, but because they believe in this, and they want to work with a good friend.

I’m also not going to use GitHub or anything similar…just local copies of “git” and FTP. Everything will be licensed under the GPL Version 2, unless someone can demonstrate that this is not a legal option. And if necessary, I will use GPL Version 3.

I hope that we can come up with very creative ways to use PostGreSQL with PHP to provide much better performance than WordPress can provide.

So, if you are interested in this project, please send an email to Support@MobilePCClinic.Net.

Sincerely,

Arthur Baldwin
