This is the ElkArte development repository.
ElkArte is a online forum software and much more, including super-cool features such as Posting by Email, Mentioning users, Notifications, Likes and more cool stuff you may already know from the common social networking platforms. Test ElkArte yourself by visiting ElkArte.net.
ElkArte is completely free software, licensed as open source under BSD 3-clause license. Enjoy the benefits of Volunteers from around the world who spend time making ElkArte what it is today.

If you're not here to play with the open source code, but instead would like to set up an ElkArte forum, see our Install Guide. Be warned, however, that ElkArte is still very much beta software, and you will run in to bugs and install problems. You may even need a background as a developer to set it up successfully. The system requirements are PHP(5.2+) and a database engine, both MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported.
