mysqlgame is probably not displaying properly in IE. We suggest Firefox or another standards-compliant browser. We’re not trying to be jerks about it, it’s just there’s only so much time in the day to spend trying to defeat Microsoft, and we gave up.”

Habari is object-oriented. Habari supports database independence. Habari uses an MVC model to separate templates from logic. Habari supports multiple template engines.

This is the iceberg tip.”
