>> REASONING
   By lighting a hilltop beacon people were able to send out a call to many 
   outlying villages.

   Beacon is a very simple date and category driven web site publishing system. 
   It looks like a Blog, but behaves like a WIKI.

   Beacon is a very simple WIKI style blog allowing you to collaborate in 
   publishing articles.

   The project is maintained by Barnraiser and was devised to allow organisations 
   and groups working across many localised social networks to gather news, 
   publish it and feed it back into local groups as an RSS feed.
