Open-Source CMS Mambo has forked in a another project called Joomla after some disagreements about how Miro International wanted to create a Mambo Fundation. The clash roots are explained a little bit in the following articles:
It seems that some of the main developers have already join Joomla. Jomla 1.0 has already been released. It's a fork from Mambo v4.5.23 with some improvements. See also Joomla roadmap. This blog note has been written after a discussion (in French) started by Jérôme on Baccou Bonneville Forum. |

Netvibes.com is a Ajax-based portal (see my note on Ajax). It has been made by some Frenchies! The user interface is really cool and easy-to-use. Hope that the authors will go to the concept of social portals, like del.icio.us for social bookmars (I just want to share my portal as I share my bookmarks). |

RailsPlayground offers Ruby on Rails free hosting (20 MB disk space). A good way to test Ruby on Rails (more information on Ruby on Rails here). I have not yet tested the service. |

Google has launched Google Blog Search in beta version. It allows to search into blog notes from bloggers around the world. Unlike Technorati (see my blog note on it), a blogger do not have to ping (notify) his post with Google Blog Search. The blog notes are retrieved from RSS feeds registered only once thru Google Sitemaps (see this blog note). There is already someone that arrived on our blog after having search for a blog note on Ruby on Rails. |

Pingoat is an alternative to Ping-o-matic. Both are intented to notify a number of services that keep track of weblogs. Such notifications are called "pings" (nothing to do with TCP/IP ping). Pingoat has a bigger number of services and is faster compared to ping-o-matic. Updated (09/14/05) Pingomatic Not Working? Now There is Pingoat! Pingoat: A New Service for Promoting Your Blog and some others. |

Have you already heard about Ruby (nothing to do with jewels) or Rails Development (nothing to do with trains) or Ruby on Rails? These buzwords are very strange. What is it? Where to start with to discover Ruby on Rails? First, Ruby is an open-source language (yes, a new one...) created in 1993-1995 by Yukihiro Matsumoto, aka Matz, a Japanese free software programmer. To start with Ruby, you should go here to learn about its features. And there is also an interview of Matz. Then, you have Ruby on Rails, an open-source web framework based on Ruby language. The goal of Ruby on Rails is very ambitious: to accelerate by ten times the time needed to develop a web-based application! Ruby on Rails has been developped by 37signals, the company that also makes Ta-da list (see my note on it here) and Basecamp, a project-management tool. Ta-da and Basecamp have been developped using Ruby on Rails. |
