Nukumi2 is a very flexible and open framework for building static and dynamic content websites. It was mainly created to allow blogging and has features to ease this, but in general every kind of mainly content providing website can be created with it. For example, it empowers this site.

Also see blog posts about Nukumi2.

Features

  • Multiple output flavors (default templates are fully validated):
    • XHTML
    • RSS2
    • Atom
  • Dynamic (Webrick) or static (file generation) publishing.
  • Search-engine friendly URIs
  • Emacs mode

What’s new in Nukumi2 0.5?

  • Atom 1.0 support
  • Using Dissident for dependency injection instead of Needle
  • Works with Ruby 1.8.3+

This release does not incorporate the Kashmir templating engine yet, just because I lack the time to rewrite the templates.

The switch to Dissident means you need to change your config.rb file, please read the documentation (especially “A Step-by-step Guide to Your Own Blog/Designing the TopicTree”) about the new syntax of the register block.

Planned features

  • Prev/Next linking
  • Better detection of new entries (no more active pings)
  • More backends:
    • XMLRPC API
    • Database
    • Version controlled
  • CGI/FastCGI interface
  • Multiple users
  • Comments
