• What does Jelix mean ? Nothing.
• What is the logo representing ? It commes from a deep reflexion of his creator, Sylvain.
• When did the Jelix project start ? During the autumn 2005, and came out in January 2006 in pre-alpha version, during the creation of the site.
• How was born Jelix ? From a desire of all breaking and improve in the Copix framework, existing since 2001. And because this project was nearly abandonned during several month when Jelix started.
• Is Jelix then a fork of Copix ? It is more a new project assembling some parts of Copix, than a real fork. A large part of the code has been entirely rewritten and Jelix does not function the same way, even if the main principle are the same (modules, DAO, …)
• Why a new framework when there is the Zend framework, and here your favourite framework ? Because, on the one hand, Jelix started before the public version of the Zend Framework, before this wave of new PHP frameworks, and on the other hand, the goal was to make the Copix framework, that exist since several years already and on which the main author of Jelix has worked a lot, evolve another way. Moreover, it make possible to show a framework that is different from others. Another reason is that the main author wants to dominate the world all alone…

On what license is Jelix available ? LGPL. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. The command-line scripts are under GPL.

• How can I contribute to the Jelix project ? We need people to make the site evolve, complete the documentation and tutorials, realize “general” modules (ex: news, forum, …). Any help is welcomed.
• I want to contribute to the code because I would like to make improvements, how can I do ? By consulting the Hackers' corner initially. Speak also with the developers (on IRC or in the forum), they will give you information on the things to pay attention to, on the way of making modifications.
• I made a modification and I would like to integrate it in the official version, how can I do ? It is initially necessary to prepare a patch (with diff type tools) from the repository version of Jelix (if it is a just some lines modified, no need for a patch, even if this is better, just give the file ans lines concerned), and send this in the patch manager.
• I found a bug ! If you are sure of the bug, post it in the bug manager, if not, send a post about it in the forum.
• There is a mistake in the documentation, I would like to complete the documentation : The documentation (and this page) is a wiki. Subscribe to the wiki and click on “Edit” to modify it.
• I would like a write access to the subversion repository : The write access is given to those who contribute actively to Jelix. Thus it is necessary to justify of a certain motivation, and to have proposed some significant patchs. And it is also necessary to know how to use subversion…
