What is Radio Community Server?
 Radio Community Server (RCS) is a software application for Radio UserLand or Frontier/Manila that makes it possible for individuals or organizations to host communities of Radio users. It offers all of the community functionality currently offered by UserLand's centralized system.
RCS is the perfect product for the development of private knowledge networks that live behind firewalls in corporate or institutional environments. It also is perfect for publications and ISPs that want to host public communities on their own systems. By offering this software for free, UserLand is saying: Let's Grow Communities Now.
Requirements
Radio Community Server is an application designed to run, at no additional cost, in either the Frontier environment or Radio UserLand. In both cases a fully updated 8.x release is required.
You can run RCS on Windows or Macintosh OS. In both cases the modern version of the OS is highly recommended -- Windows NT, 2000 or XP; or Macintosh OS X.
Features...
RCS is as easy to install as Radio itself. Download it into the Tools folder, it activates, with an easy to use Prefs system that makes customization a breeze. Your community can be up and running within five minutes of downloading the sotware.
Host a private community behind a corporate firewall, or a public one focused on a specific topic or political interest. You can use Radio to plan projects, develop plans, share confidential information, with the same ease of use that Radio is famous for.
Implements the server side of Radio upstreaming, rendered content flows from your users' desktops through RCS to fast static storage. Far more efficient than centralized editing and rendering systems.
