I'm glad to see another PHP/MySQL blog system, but I'd be a bit wary of hooking up with a brand new system. It may function great right out of the gate, but often these things need to age a little

I have to say that if b2 does die, I think it might be the one for me, since I really didnt like greymatter or MT...

But you have to install it to the root folder of your site as it will not do links to a subfolder !
So now I use Pmachine and have B2 as a back or to test templates with .

I wouldn't know - my server is running under safemode, and I haven't been able to install it.

Textpattern
[edit] I think I've managed to install it using php-cgi, which is less than ideal... I'll report more when I've tried to use it... [/edit]

I tried it a long time ago, before i tried b2. I didn't really like it. And Textism doesn't really like running under php-cgi...

| I installed the textpattern also for fun, and I think it could be very well the next MT, once it gets the bugs out. I wrote up a bit why I liked, it and not. If you want my thoughts here: http://www.fullofnothing.org/index.php?p=254&c=1 |

As it is at the moment b2 is a very light, very flexible and very powerful blogging system which with some creativity can easily be used as a content manager good enough for most websites.
So, that said I don't see why once you have b2 installed and are using it you would move away from it if the author would decide to drop the project (important note: as of this moment the project is not dropped...) ?

What happens if a new feature that is being rolled out across other blogging software that I want and can't be intergrated into the existing b2 code without massive modification (or a new release as they are known)?

I think the user base of b2 is extenstive enough to fix most anything. If ever this forum would be offline I know others will be glad to host it (I have a forum on standby 24/7 just for that, lol).
b2 has been coded pretty clean. Spaghetti-code is not to be found so it is easy to just add new functions - as you see from the list of hacks available.
Depending on what people post with b2, or with any blogging/CMS script for that matter, I guess in the end it is more important to provide content than to keep on changing from Greymatter to MT to pmachine to b2 to the next new kid on the block

Then you'd move to the new platform. That's simply the workings of software lifespans.
I'm pretty sure that eventually there will be a new feature that can't be accomodated into b2 (though, with the way hacks have ranged from the trivial one-line change to the more complicated database modifications, it may be a long while before any such unincorporable feature comes about), and at that point someone may write migration scripts. But for the time being, b2 is a very good tool for blogging, and there's no need to leave it early.
I mean, what happens if the platform you migrate to stops development? Is there a built-up user community ready to carry on, both with forking b2 (already happened a few times) and hacking (which happens continously)? |
