Firmant

I've been actively hacking on Firmant recently. Much effort has been put into eliminating needless code, primarily leftovers from older designs that have since been phased out.

Some features coming before the end of August '09:

• More stable deployment under LigHTTPD (currently stable mainly under wsgiref).
• Comments system allowing anonymous comments.
• reStructedText Plugin
• Embedded latex in reStructuredText (Possibly pushed to September).

Some features planned for the future (no dates set):

• Authentication of comments using the GPG WoT.
• Elegant local administrative interface.

It is important to note that there is currently > 60% code coverage of Firmant's core with most untested code residing at or above the Template or routing layers.

It is also important to note that firmant.org runs the public code for firmant. Get the latest release using Git:

git clone git://firmant.org/firmant.git firmant

Part of being a useful web platform is catering to a multitude of users and their individual languages. This is a test of unicode functionality in order to accomodate users who wish to use their native characters.

Thanks to Professor Moorthy at RPI for providing the following snippet to test unicode support:
