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 three evolutions of Finnish Amiga Party,
aka "FAP", thus the somewhat amusing name for the software.


Requirements
============

- PHP 7.0 or later (tested on PHP 7.0 (Debian patched))
  Both PHP for http server and CLI are required.

- PHP GraphicsMagick wrapper. In Debian, it is "php7-imagick".

- SQL database. FAPWeb supports at least PostgreSQL and maybe MySQL
  PDO database backends, also SQLite3 is supported for development
  purposes. However, SQLite3 should NOT BE USED for a production
  website - it can not handle simultaneous access very well at all.
