h-source is the PHP software used to create h-node.com. The h-source source code is hosted at Savannah.

At the moment there is no stable releases but you can download the SVN version (updated daily). In order to download the SVN version you have to install subversion. Then type the following command in a terminal:

svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/h-source/trunk/h-source

You can also access the subversion repository using HTTP (slower)

svn co http://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/svn/h-source/trunk/h-source

h-source has been developed using the EasyGiant PHP framework. The EasyGiant PHP framework force the developer to adopt the MVC (model-view-controller) paradigm. According to this paradigm each web page served is managed by a Controller, a Model and one ore more View files.

For example, the URL of this page is the following:

http://www.h-node.com/wiki/page/en/h-source

We can split the above URL in four parts

1. http://www.h-node.com -> the domain name
2. wiki -> the controller, that is a PHP class
3. page -> the public method of the controller called
4. en/h-source -> a list (separated by /) of arguments passed to the page public method of the wiki controller
