“Open Source business models are about monetizing at the point where the user finds value, as opposed to monetizing the promise of value, which is the old proprietary model.”

kung fu grippe - Better: What worries me are the consequences of a diet comprised mostly of fake-connectedness, makebelieve insight, and unedited first drafts of everything. I think it’s making us small.

Akelos

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:07:00 +0200

Testing PHP frameworks for a project at work. Akelos is looking good so far. It sticks very closely to Rails, so much so (it’s suggested) that template files and wiki content can be ported over.

Well organised project site (with an acceptable design, I’m looking at you seagull, qcodo etc. etc.)
Tidy, well documented code
Sintags, a lightweight ERb-like templating language

Chyrp vs. Habari showdown

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:21:00 +0200

Still mulling over the pros and cons of switching to a self-hosted blog. This is the type of thing I start obsessing over, which is dysfunctional, I know.

Looking through the default theme templates it’s clear that Habari sticks closely to the Wordpress ‘Loop’ model, while Chyrp is much more like Rails- or Django- templating. After working with the elegance that is the Tumblr theming engine, Habari looks a bit archaic in this regard.

I like the idea of having an easy to browse/search archive of your blogging history, as Heilemann shows in the demo (see previous post). Then your blog becomes more like a notebook.

It’s clear though that it ultimately comes down to whether you’re of the old-man school of blogging, author as creator, or the nu-skool rebloggers, author as curator.

I’ve been watching the development of Habari and Chyrp for a while now. Tumblr showed me the way with getting into blogging, and for that I’m grateful. But it sometimes feels like pulling punches when you don’t own what you publish. Dilemma.
