What is Ophal?
Ophal is a highly scalable web platform, which aims to be easy to maintain, learn, extend and is open to improvements. Developers can create modules to alter and extend Ophal's core capabilities and add new features or customize Ophal's behavior and appearance, Zophin and DBA are examples of that. Ophal core supports themes, which customize the "look and feel" of Ophal sites.

Community news
Moved to GitHub!
Yes, all Ophal code is now on http://github.com/ophal so we expect a feeback in the issue queue, many forks and loads of Stargazers!
New contrib modules
They are the ones that extend Ophal beyond:
- Content and User modules provide some CMS functionality.
- Shorten is a a URL shortener module.
They are not included in core so you can create your own contrib modules, or fork the ones existing, just don't forget to contribute upstream.
