Light as a Feather Apr 7 2008
My boy Mike is back blogging his ass off again, and this time, he’s doing it on some decent software! Last few weeks me and Mike have been working on an ultra-cool blogging platform written using the Merb framework, and it’s now in production use for Mike’s blog. This very blog will follow suit shortly as I migrate over, and within a few weeks we are hoping to have the codebase in a good enough state to be able to open up the source, and start to invite contributions from anyone that feels the need to help out. The idea behind Feather is the same as Merb - lightweight core framework, extended heavily by plugins, allowing you to choose the pieces of functionality you need, and leave out the guff that you don’t. Keep it dialed in here for further updates on Feather over the next few weeks, and keep a keen eye on Mike’s blog too for more great posts. In fact, he’s already in the thick of it with this great post on why Ruby does it for him (and why .Net doesn’t).
