Self-touted as “the next generation blogging”, Habari is the latest contender for the “Best blogging platform” mantle. What sets it apart is a more flexible approach which makes for more extensive community participation. In general terms, users that make significant contributions to an existing project receive more privileges within that specific project.
The Habari website includes both screenshots and screencasts that aim to provide potential users a glimpse of what the platform can do, as well as a full enumeration of the features at play. By way of example, these include support for multiple database backends such as MyQSL and PostgreSQL, along with Atom Publishing Protocol support. The platform also supports static content as well as multiple authors. Indispensable features like plug-ins and tagging are also taken into account. Some of the most characteristic plug-ins and themes include feedburner integration, lifestreaming and advanced spam filtering.
Lastly, programmers and software developers who find this initiative interesting and wish to make a contribution can contact the Habari team via the provided IRC channel or the featured mailing list.
