View History

This project is a fork of eFiction - a software for managing story archives - mainly intended for fanfiction. Therefore the software is licenced under the GNU GPL2 and provided without any warranties.

Warning: This software is under heavy development and has currently a lot of hard coded elements and is especially adjusted to the needs of the needs of the "Harry Potter Fanfiction Archiv". To make a more general version avaliable for other fandoms and archives we are currently looking for active developers to remove the hard coded dependencies and for extending the current functionality

The original software was based on eFiction 2.0.3 which was originally written by the following authors:

  • Rebecca Smallwood
  • Tammy Keefer
  • Michael Fressmann

Additionally, the following persons contributed to the software to adjust it to the special needs it fits today:

  • Daniel
  • Anne Weasley
  • Len
  • georgieteddy
  • Vivianne
  • Dumbledore
  • check (current maintainer)

To provide additional features, a number of third party software was included and modified where necessary:

Furthermore we make use of behat and its extensions to ensure a certain amount of functionality of the software.

We try to improve the source code using the tools from The PHP Quality Assurance Toolchain.

Since these components also includes a number of other software, we recommend to look on the respective web pages for further information.
