Habari

Habari is a new blogging platform being developed by
a number of well known people, some of which are fed up with open source, others just looking for new challenges.

The thing about Habari is that is starts from scratch, and today. That means it doesn’t have to worry about a lot of existing legacy code and thus, downward compatibility. It is also being designed from the grounds up, using the latest available technology. Heck, it’s full OOP! It abstracts database access! You can plug in different theme engines (and, of course, there are plugins). In short, it could easily be the greatest thing since pressed words.

I wrote my first patches against Habari trunk today, one fixing a locale bug and making basic i18n work, the other mostly style changes. How could I resist joining the development frenzy!

Find me in the habari-dev group and on the Habari IRC channel, #habari on irc.freenode.net.
