Project Overview

The Exponent Project makes use of multiple technologies to assist in its development. ExponentCMS.org is using Exponent to organize and centralize the Exponent Project. This website is the central source for organizing and consolidating Exponent Information.

You can join and participate with the Exponent community in several ways. If you're a Facebook user, you can join our Exponent CMS Group. Twitter users can follow us on Twitter. We've also have our Exponent Forums, where you can ask questions and provide answer and solutions to other Exponent users. You can also join the IRC chat on freenode channel #exponent-cms.
