Slash (Slashdot-Like Automated Storytelling Homepage) is a content management system, originally[when?] created for Slashdot, one of the oldest[when?] collaborative sites on the Internet. Slash has also been known as Slashcode.[1]
Slash is a set of modules, plugins and applets — scripts or programs executed by the server — written in Perl.[2]
Early versions of Slash were written by Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot, in the spring of 1998. Andover.net bought Slashdot in June 1999.[3]Work was done by Brian Aker, Patrick Galbraith and Chris Nandor, resulting in version 2 of the software, released in 2001.[citation needed]Until 2009, Slash was maintained by Jamie McCarthy and Chris Nandor, among others. The original codebase was abandoned in September 2009.[citation needed]
SoylentNews is a fork of Slashdot using a 2009 fork of the Slashdot engine.[5] Michael Casadevall (NCommander), is a New York Ubuntu core developer,[6] and SoylentNews Public Benefit Corporation (SN PBC) president.[7][8][9][10][11]
On 22 May 2023 NCommander announced that SoylentNews will be shutting down on June 30 of that year.[12][13] However, the decision was reversed in an announcement made on 5 June 2023.[14]
