    "Why should a communication device be equipped with a destructive ray?"

OVERVIEW

    The Interocitor is an alien communications device constructed from parts by
    a human scientist in the classic sci-fi film, This Island Earth.

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interocitor

    The OpenInterocitor is an experimental communications and identity device
    constructed from parts by a human {web,mad,computer} scientist from
    decafbad.com.

    The intent of this project is to play with OpenID, distributed social
    software, web-based messaging, federated personal update broadcasting, and
    personal publishing.  

    Oh, and it needs a new name at some point, because OpenInterocitor is
    intentionally awful and nerdy.  This reflects the current state of the
    software itself.

INSTALLATION

    # Requires GD support with JPEG and PNG enabled, for captchas and avatars
    # Prefers GMP support, for faster OpenID processing
    
    # Requires PEAR DB to run OpenID, for now.  (This should change at some point.)
    sudo pear install DB

    cp htaccess-dist .htaccess
    # Edit RewriteBase in .htaccess to reflect your installation URL
    
    cd system/application/config
    
    cp config.php-dist config.php
