## Description

**CAUTION**

The Plugin comes with own Database Tables and is currently considered not safe for
production. PLEASE currently only use, when you are a Developer, who knows how to
fix your Database! Thanks!

**Chiron**

Chiron is the Teacher of Heros and Heroines. It’s a PHP based multi-user, multi-
sources, multi-output, multi-cms News-Reader and Cross-Site-Networking Tool. It 
currently provides one-code-base-fits-all Integration for WordPress. Drupal will
follow soon, hopefully.
