Introduction
We are working to create applications for an open and independent internet. Our goal is to give people free tools to create and publish anything.

Lemon is an example of a simple PHP framework for content sharing. Right out of the box it is a blog. Allow sign-ups to turn it into a social network. Designers can install add-ons and customize settings to make clones of popular websites.

Roadmap
Better documentation.
Better support for photos/video/audio with ffmpeg.
Packages with built in add-ons: Lime (pages, gallery), Orange (forum, playlists).
ItemCloud peer-to-peer networks and features for ICE Blocks archive (ice-server).
Tons of cool add-ons and layouts from the community (ice-client).
Importing add-ons and version tracking.
Database update packages.
