    33== What is Dolphin? ==

    5 Dolphin is a marine mammal and a web-software platform that you can download and use to build your own niche social network, community site, online club or an interest-based social website. Dolphin is designed to be simple, easy to use and customise. One doesn't have to be a programmer or web-designer to operate a Dolphin-powered website. Some understanding of web-servers, web-development, site administration, etc, would be beneficial, however.

    7 Dolphin is an independent, self-hosted solution. This means that once you setup your site - you own it, you take care of it, you reap what you sow. This is a huge benefit, especially if you ever plan to turn your site into a profitable business, but this may imply certain level of involvement on your part. You need to update the software periodically, moderate content of your site regularly and pay for web-hosting.

    9 Dolphin comes packed with [http://www.boonex.com/features tens of modules and thousands of features]. It is always a good idea to "activate" only those features that are absolutely needed for implementation of your idea. Turning everything on may result in a cluttered interface, increased server load and diluted focus of your site visitors. You can extend Dolphin functionality even further by using modules, plugins, templates and language packs from [http://www.boonex.com/market Boonex Market].

    1111Dolphin is an "open source" platform, which means that you can modify it to suit your specific needs. Any modification, however, may complicate future version upgrades, so think ahead.  
 
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
