Thanks for the response, guys. I have used wordpress a lot in the past, including doing some mod_rewrite based multi-blog hack for wp 1.5 circa 2005, before the mu stuff. I gradually grew out of touch with blogging software, until I recently decided to migrate a couple of personal blogs from wp.com to a private server. Because I spend a lot of hours developing for postgres, I started looking for a good blogging tool that may run on this DMBS.
I don't like Moveable Type (I don't even know why). Platforms like drupal and serendipity make me claustrophobic. Roller sounded good, but too java-y enterprise. I guess I was looking for something slick, something elegant, powerful and userfriendly like wordpress... for postgres. I guess I didn't even consider the possiblity of finding something with a clean codebase and a rational database design. And then I had a look at habari. First impression (demo) was good. Nice interface. Check. Standards compliant. Check. Clean code. Check. Hackable. Runs on Postgresql. Check? To answer Owen, I am already sold and willing to use habari to a. migrate my personal blogs to something Postgresql-based, b. migrate a small multi-author blog I support c. experiment using Habari as the front-end for multi-blog farms and eventually a Postgresql-based content engine. The only catch is I've got to get it to work. I have checked out revision 3482 from http://svn.habariproject.org/habari/trunk/htdocs and tried installing on a lighttpd virtual host. After including some rewrite rules in the virtual host configuration, I managed to install, but I started getting warnings once I logged into the admin pages and wrote my first post. I'll have another look tomorrow. Would you rather I checked out from a different location just in case I was able to fix something in time for the 0.61 release, or shall I just carry on with the latest? cheers, Michael PS.
