Pligg, the content management system that I co-founded nearly two years ago, has been added to the Dreamhost one click install program. For those of you who don’t know, Pligg is an open source CMS that lets you create a Digg-like site in just a few minutes. It’s a highly social CMS that generally relies on a community of people to contribute and vote on articles. The stories with enough votes are promoted to the front page. The collaborative nature of Pligg separates it from most other CMS packages where news items are submitted by site-sponsored editors.

Now you can setup Pligg easier than ever. Unfortunately the installation process could be simplified even more, but we are working on this shortcoming to make installation even easier in the near future. Haven’t taken Pligg for a test run yet? Give it a whirl and leave a comment to let me know what you think of it, or head on over to the Pligg Forums.
