[Year 12 IPM] Premade PHP tools for virtual teams

[Mark Kelly]

I know ITA U3O2 may seem a long way off, but there's a lot to get used to.

I'm writing sample outcomes for ITA and in U3O2 (Virtual team websites) 
I created a scenario of an amateur webmaster whose cult site has grown 
beyond his ability to manage alone so he's recruiting an international 
team of like-minded fans to manage the site as a team.

Since I made them all a bit retarded when it comes to writing stuff like 
PHP and Cold Fusion, I looked at the control panel of my own domain to 
see what open-source pre-made PHP tools the webmaster would have easy 
access to that could help a team manage the site.

Here's the list.  You'll probably need to Google them to find what they 
do.  When your kids tackle U3O2, these are the sorts of tools a 
commercially-hosted website usually has free access to:

Tip: Wiki is particularly interesting and increasingly poplular as a 
tool for teams to collate resources and joint documentation.
