Talk:Fantastico (web hosting)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] There are no clear mechanisms for software developers to receive notification that their software was installed on a system.

What the hell is this supposed to mean? For the software developers of the software that gets installed on a system, surly this should be part of THEIR software? Either this is a stupid statement or the wording is incorrect.--Hm2k 22:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article is too negative

== "This process (upgrading) is generally much more technically challenging to users who installed it via an automated control panel, rather than doing so themselves from scratch, using files from the open-source web site."

I think the article is too negative.

Installing most of this stuff without Fantastico is what is most "technically challenging". What the author really means, is if you cant run your own server and install it yourself dont use the aps at all. For perspective, I think that the following should be pointed out: without installers a lot of people (probably most) would never get a chance to use most of these products...period. Hosts that feature Fantastico need to keep it updated. I have so far not had a problem updating aps using Fantastico, it will update existing sites at the click of a link... but yes, you are always running about a month behind updates released from the development team. For most people that is the tradeoff they have to make vs not running the ap at all. Ive lost count of all the things Ive been able to try and use with Fantastico. Ray C.
