No, this isn”t an official communique from the wild frontier that is Habari, but it is a litle missive from yours truly about his favorite little baby.
In one word, the state of the news is vibrant. In the weeks following my announcement on this very site, we have had hundreds of people join mailing lists, hang out in IRC and install, break and fix the product.
As you can see by the Google Code project page, we are now at 10 comitters on the project, and we have a rather active community of patch submitters. From where I am sitting, I couldn”t be happier about the place Habari is at right now, heck we even have the first original theme for Habari out in the wild.
There will be some more rumblings from the project site soon, and yes we are working on a Dev blog, and we are working as fast as we can to a public release. Big things are just around the corner, can you feel it in the air? I can.

chris i know you’re at the helm with the others modelling the new habari platform and designing what is to become the new wordpress -, but really, for it to be different you REALLY got to come out with a different looking blog page — and that is to make it page static ie it doesn’t SCROLL the single most annoying feature of ANY blogware. Doesn’t anyone KNOW this? I wish I was there with you guys to decide on these things. If habari comes out with a template that doesn’t need scrollig that would be the one I’d use till I drop. thank you huatLIM best of luck with HABARI.

Chris The single ONE theme that makes all blogs look silly would the one that behaves exactly like a webpage, ie it DOES NOT SCROLL. Its so obvious a feature I can’t understand why we JUST don’t get it. Anyway you guys are fantastic already. huatlim www.zlgdesign.com
