Longer one from PressReleaseOne
Bitweaver is an advanced, object-oriented, open source web application framework and content management system written in PHP. Bitweaver uses the ADOdb database abstraction library and Smarty Templates template presentation framework. Originally known as TikiPro and derived from the PHP application known as TikiWiki, bitweaver distinguished itself through thousands of code changes which lead to a high speed, modular, fully customizable web application. Bitweaver prides itself for supporting many Postgres, MySQL, and Firebird databases on Linux, Macintosh, and Windows. Due to its modularity, scalability, data integrity, and stability it is ideally suited for enterprise or large scale, high traffic websites. Its ease of use makes it also ideal for small sites. Learn more at http://www.bitweaver.org


Other longer one from PressReleaseOne
Bitweaver is an advanced, Open Source, Object Oriented, Content Management System (CMS) and Web Application Framework written in PHP. It uses Smarty Templates for a simple HTML based templating system and ADOdb to support a multitude of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebird. It's strength lies in it's highly modular and easily extensible design. This high degree of flexibility is considered "large grained modularity" and gives developers freedom to interleave open-source and proprietary code seamlessly.

bitweaver has been designed from the very beginning, for speed from end-to-end: schema design, query utilization, and software design - a highly tuned, performance engine. The use of standard compliant XHTML Strict 1.0 and sophisticated tableless CSS has made bitweaver stand above the rest in the web application world. The well organized, nested style class system gives you substantial freedom with CSS based styling, with the least amount of work.

With bitweaver, you are in control. bitweaver goes out of its way to let you make the decisions and design choices that best suit your problem.

I suggest submitting this project to large review sites such as www.opensourcecms.com and other similar sites. A good review done by them would generate a ton of hits.

Also it would be nice to keep a demo on opensourcecms for people to try out this software.

For reference, the MediaBlitz was born here :
Time to shift gear ! Promote bitweaver !!!

As I said on the forums, the first thing we need to do is build a core of users to bring life to the community.

One of the first thing people will look for arriving here is wether or not they can trust the community to help them and answer questions. It would be a mistake to launch the MediaBlitz thing before we can build this, it could be detrimental to the image of the project.

So the way I see things we could have a two-step plan : first maybe contact current bitweaver users to announce that the project has moved forward significantly and that if not done already, they should check Beta2 out and make their minds (which I am confident they will, given the huge step from alpha).

As for opensourcecms.com, I have mentionned it on the forum, it would be a very important thing to add bitweaver there. I have posted a request to add it a few months ago, but maybe Spider or Xing should do it themselves, since my request had no effect.

I looked into putting TP onto http://opensourcecms.com, but one of the requirements are the code is non-beta. In line with their request, I thought it better to hold off until final release of ReleaseOne.

Link building

Forum signatures linking is also a good way of promotion (at least I have a good experience with it). So I encourage folks to just add a link to bw.o to their sigs.

Forums on competitive big CMS projects are the best place to do so in my opinion. Lets name few: Joomla!, Drupal, XOOPS.
