Typo is the oldest and most powerful Ruby on Rails blogware, providing custom templates, powerful drag and drop plugins API, advanced SEO capabilities, XMLRPC API and many more.
What is it?
===========
Typo is a weblog system written in Ruby using Ruby on Rails. Weblogs are cool,
weblogs are "in" and everyone who writes code has a different opinion on how
a weblog should be written. Typo is our take on it. Typo is designed to be
usable by programmers and non-programmers, while being easy for programmers to
extend.
Requirements
============
Currently you need all of those things to get typo to run:
* Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7 or Ruby Enterprise Edition.
* Rails 2.3.5, Typo 5.4.4 DOES NOT support any older Rails version.
* A database. Typo supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
* Ruby drivers for your database.
* For best performance, you should have a web server running either
Apache, Lighttpd or Nginx, along with FastCGI, mongrel or thin. You can use
Ruby's built-in web server for low-volume testing.
We recommend the use of Apache + mod_rails (aka Passenger) for fast and
easy deployment along with speed.
* rspec, rcov and ruby-debug are necessary to run the test suit.
