Nisaba

Nisaba is a blogging & lifestreaming application that is still in the early stages of development. Although blogging packages are common, there is a dearth of free, self-hosted lifestream & content aggregation software. Nisaba aims to fill that niche.

Goals

Nisaba aspires to be clean, efficient, maintainable, powerful, robust, lean, flexible, accessible, and usable. Separation of content and presentation and use of best practices are priorities. Nisaba also makes use of relevant microformats where they are appropriate and useful.

Features

• Entry & Comment Management
• User Management
• Entry Tagging
• Spam Prevention (Akismet)
• Content Formatting with Markdown and Smartypants
• Syndication (Atom 1.0)
• Uses PDO (data-access abstraction layer)
• Default theme that is lightweight and semantic
• A MVC-influenced design

Direction

Plans are being made to integrate automated content aggregation through the use of Gnip's service. Other to-do items include application hooks to allow extensibility through plugins, OpenID authentication, and AtomPub. If you are interested in contributing in some form, please get in touch.
