Borg :: The Battlehorse ORGanizer

Borg is a ruby on rails application I have written to manage this website. It is a basic CMS that offers various functionalities:

• wiki with easy markup (textile) and internal links
• page metadata
• blog
• tagging (now you can navigate through them and group them in clouds, see here ! )
• breadcrumbs
• hierarchical sidebars and toolbars
• no database required. Flat files to store both contents and metadata
• user comments with captchas and gravatars (more info here ).
• Google analytics integration (more info here ).
• Google Talk chatback integration (more info here).
• Authentication framework based upon OpenID (more info here ).
• Editing directly from the website and authorizations management.
• Smart blog dates parsing and presentation new in v2.5
• Multiple graphic templates (thanks to Styleshout and Solucija ) new in v2.5

and many other features.

Many features are still missing, but it is already usable in a beta state.
