I began work on Smeep Lite, a PHP slush management system that I will give away for free. I am trying to make it so you can just edit a config file, drop the php modules on your website and take off. No MySQL required and no programming.

I have made it so an editor can just drop files into the “uploads” directory and they magically appear in the system. Authors can add files using a simple form and then use another form to find out the status of their story.

I am hoping that publishers will be so happy with the Lite version that they will go for the rich feature set of the Smeerp system.

I will put it on the smeerp site as soon as it is stable and most of the functionality is complete.
