Vuohimatik BBS software
-----------------------
VMatik is a free BBS software for Linux, released under
GNU general public license. Like many other pieces of software, 
VMatik is still evolving and under development. I'd be 
delighted to get feedback and help from the people on the net.

If nobody is interested to comment and/or give a helping hand,
the development will go on just as slowly as I see fit. Some
of the quirks don't bother me much personally as a Sysop,
and VMatik seems stable and functional for the end user.

At the current phase, VMatik presumes the Sysop to have
knowledge about running BBS systems. Familiarity with 
C and SQL will also be helpful. Though nothing prevents 
you to learn as you go along, if you have the patience.

This is not a plug-and-play software. Its available as a source
distribution only and has a manual installation. In addition,
it depends on other (freely available) software, which you must 
separately get and install. Its not hard though. 

If this didn't scare you, you might be ready for VMatik. It won't
be the other way around anytime soon. :)
