After many requests, I decided to release the system under the GPL, and make it available to all for free.

The system needs some work: specifically in the areas of support for CSS files, features, and documentation.

You can download the code from subversion on Google Code. Support is provided only through the linked Google group however I may be available for implementation consulting on large projects – contact Intellispire if you are interested.
