The top of the page at http://lampforums.org has a few places where LAM
is spelled out as Linux, Apache, MYSQL, and PHP/Perl/Python.

I could make it more clear, I suppose--any suggestions as to how t
word it would be great!

The LAMP acronym has been around for awhile--I think there are even
few books with LAMP in the title.

I think that most people on here knows what it stands for, but I coul
be wrong.

Thanks for the feedback!

And any feedback on specific the re-wording of the page would b
great.

Also, what are everyone's favorite python applications for conten
management/blogging/etc?

Best,

Ellio

Hello all,
We have set up new linux, apache, mysql, python, perl, and php forums
at http://lampforums.org .

Perhaps you could say at the top of that page what LAMP means.
My guess: Linux-Apache-Mysql-Planguage -- but why that particular
selection? Just to have a cute acronym? Why not other open souce
programs/languages? If you are successful, you will get visitors who are
even more puzzled than me.

The top of the page at http://lampforums.org has a few places where LAMP
is spelled out as Linux, Apache, MYSQL, and PHP/Perl/Python.

Once I understood that that is what you are doing, it became obvious that
that is what you are doing. LAMPPP, LAM3P, or LAMP3 would be even more
obvious.

I could make it more clear, I suppose--any suggestions as to how to
word it would be great!

"Lamp is a shortened acronym for Linux, Apache, MYSQL, and PHP/Perl/Python.
These open-source programs are grouped together because many programmers
use them together (usually selecting just one of the P programs) to drive
web sites."

Am I to presume that open-source alternatives to each of the above are both
excluded and used less often? Or at least not used much by your target
audience?

The LAMP acronym has been around for awhile--I think there are even a
few books with LAMP in the title.

Whereas this is my second or third exposure, with the first that made an
impression coming earlier this year. A list of those books might help some
people, and would establish that LAMP is an established concept.

The FAQ seems not to exist.

the LAMP concept has been pushed by O'Reilly and others since
early 2001:

I'm not sure how you've managed to miss it...

Thanks for the feedback.

I linked to Oreilly's onlamp.com article at:

http://lampforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=36

What is LAMP?

LAMP is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MYSQL/Postgres, an
PHP/Perl/Python/Ruby.

These open-source efforts offer ever-increasing power and versatility.

In 2001, Dale Dougherty wrote at Oreilly's
href=http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/01/25/lamp.html :

"Several months ago, David Axmark and Monty Widenius of the MySQL tea
visited us in Sebastopol and they dropped a new term in our laps: LAMP
This term was popular in Germany, they said, to define how MySQL wa
used in conjunction with Linux, Apache, and either Perl, Python, o
PHP. Their explanation of LAMP made a lightbulb go off in my head."

"The lightbulb that went off in my head was that LAMP represents th
open source web platform. Most importantly, LAMP is the platform o
choice for the development and deployment of high performance we
applications. It is solid and reliable, and if Apache is any indicator
then LAMP sites predominate."
