Firmant is an open source blogging platform. Designed with minimalism and security in mind. Plans to use Git as its backend (a work in progress).
Developer comments
Firmant is making blogging easy and fun again. My biggest complaint about Wordpress was the requirement that I must be logged on. Additionally it didn't quite separate presentation from markup. I often found myself working around leftover HTML tags in Wordpress' edit dialog (to be honest this was probably my fault). I also found I desired to blog at moments I had no Internet connectivity (or a browser without my password saved).
With Firmant this all changes. First, all of my blog is wherever I am. My code is stored in Git. I don't even need to be on my own machine to grab a copy of my blog, make changes, and email the patches to myself for later. Second, I never have to write HTML again. My code is all stored in reStructuredText format.
If you're interested in Firmant, please feel free to copy this blog to use it as a sandbox. You can find it stored in git. You can grab the source at git. Test your platform by running make inside the repository checkout. You'll need the following dependencies for the tests to complete successfully:
* docutils
* jinja2
* lxml
* minimock
* pysettings
Bug reports, feature requests, and constructive criticism are always welcome (patches too!).
