About

The story behind the FenPress project.

The Basics

FenPress is a project started by Alis Dee as an attempt to twist WordPress MU into something containing the community features desired by refugees from LJ Server sites such as LiveJournal. The idea was first floated in a post in June 2008, at pretty much exactly the worst time. Life’s like that.

The site is currently considered to be in extreme alpha. That is, it’s pretty much a raw WPMU install. Still, we’re open for sign-ups for those brave enough to want to test things out.

Features

When it’s completed, the FenPress module hopes to offer the following features:

  • Friends lists.
  • Friends locked posts.
  • An easier interface for joining and managing group journals (”communities”).
  • Extensive interoperability with LJ Server sites such as LiveJournal, InsaneJournal and JournalFen.
  • Expanded theme customisation.
  • Threaded comments and reply notifications.
  • Multiple custom userpics.
  • OpenID support.
  • … and more!
