Never heard about this CMS. Looks quite good to me. Have to install it to see what works well with it.

Thanks for this post… I was wondering what the differences were as I am a big fan of WP.

Habari is nice since we can use PostgreSQL as our DB so i think its posible to create large scale website using habari if its true habari can give more than blogengine as i have create directory site using wp and create ecommerce site also using wp.

Your Habari coverage continues to be exemplary. I had forgotten about the ascend and descend methods.

One thing that we’re shooting for in an upcoming version is a set of features that make it easier to theme. So commonly-used functions like the one you’ve written would be accessible from the theme by default, rather than having to write them yourself. Yet you’d still have that capability if you wanted.

It’s hard to know what these common functions are in advance of having the system in wide use, so the more people offer suggestions now, the more likely they are to see those good things added to Habari. One of the things I like best about our community is how we bring people and their ideas in. This is one area where I think themers can start to see some advantage in how Habari operates if they start getting involved now.

Leland, I’m glad you’ve decided to try it. I think it is important for WordPressers to try it, even if they don’t decide to use it, because it is a genuine competitor to WordPress. WordPress can only benefit from competent alternatives if people are aware of them and pimp the features they like.

Michael, Thanks for clarifying that. I really must remember to link to all the resources in my articles.
