What is it?
===========
 
Typo is a weblog system written in Ruby using Ruby on Rails. Weblogs are cool,
weblogs are "in" and everyone who writes code has an different opinion on how
a weblog should be written. Typo is our take on it. Typo is designed to be
usable by programmers and non-programmers, while being easy for programmers to
extend.
 
Requirements
============
 
Currently you need all of those things to get typo to run:
 
 * Ruby 1.8.6 or higher
 * Rails 2.0.2 or higher
 * A database.  Typo supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
 * Ruby drivers for your database.
 * For best performance, you should have a web server running either
   Apache or Lighttpd along with FastCGI, although these aren't
   strictly required--you can use Ruby's built-in web server for
   low-volume testing.
 * rspec, rcov and ruby-debug are necessary to run the test suit.
 
Installation
============
 
See doc/Installer.text and doc/typo-5.0.3-release-notes.txt.
 
Usage
======
 
Typo's administrative interface is available at

change Typo's configuration settings. For posting new content, you can
either use this administrative web interface or a desktop blog editor
like MarsEdit or Ecto. For a short list of clients which are confirmed
to work please visit http://trac.typosphere.org/wiki/DesktopClients.
