+=====================================================

+
+
+Introduction
+============
+FAPWeb is a simple web-based system for managing a web-site for a
+demoparty (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoparty ), including
+facilities for:
+
+ - Web-pages with party information (compos) etc
+ - Visitor registration
+ - On-screen beamer slides for competitions and announcements
+ - Submitting competition entries (currently no "user-submission" tho)
+ - On-line voting
+
+ - Etc .. with more features possibly coming as they are implemented.
+
+The system has been used for two evolutions of Finnish Amiga Party,
+aka "FAP", thus the somewhat amusing name for the software.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+The system has been written in PHP, and supports at least PostgreSQL
+and probably MySQL PDO database backends, also SQLite3 is supported
+for development purposes. However, SQLite3 should NOT BE USED for
+the production website - it can not handle simultaneous access
+very well at all.
