Slideshow is an software for showing text and images in a loop on monitors and projectors. It is not meant for situations where interactive control is required, but when the content is continuously looping for a long time.
The content is updated through a webgui. The application is split into two packages, the backend and frontend. The backend is written in C++ and OpenGL and the frontend uses PHP and MySQL. Currently the frontend is very GNU/Linux specific and will not run on any other platform. It is however meant to be as platform independent as possible, as long as it handles OpenGL.
