So what is this thing? This "Minimalist Dong" you find yourself rummaging through? It's weblog management software. Very basic - hence the "Minimalist". The interface is all text, although you could easily put graphics into it. As it ships, it passes HTML 4.01-Strict validation, but you can easily mangle that too. Try not to, OK? :) It can import and export content in RSS 0.91 formatted XML files, the Netscape channel format, allowing you to easily syndicate content from other sites, and have your own content syndicated by others. It'll do more things when we get to version 1.0 - and then I'm going to think about "Maximus" - but that's for later. Maximus will have the functions of Minimalist Dong as a baseline, but many more funky things besides. It will require much more in the way of resources than Minimalist. Minimalist Dong should require nothing more than a fairly standard build of PHP and a web server.
