   It is easy to grow from zero, or to get people to claim to want to help out.

   Having Bryan Veloso involved weeks after he was fired doesn’t exactly help their claim that they’re not just bitter at not working for Automattic.

   Skippy is a drama queen, isn’t this like the forth time he’s said he is leaving WordPress behind? So immature.

   Habari needs to shut up and ship before their hype gets any more out of control and they start believing what people write about them, it reminds me of Flock. With all the drama-prone people involved, I predict this won’t end pretty.

   The current code, although still a preview of the full package, is very functional, otherwise Chris Davis wouldn’t be able to use it on his own site.

   We are very excited both by the designers that have heard the call, and the designs they’ve been collaborating on (all visible in the mailing list, where people have been providing useful feedback). The post may make it sound like it’s been an easy climb, where people throw their names our way just to be part of the buzz, but some of them needed to see how our community worked before they offered a hand. I’m glad that what they’ve seen has been convincing.

   Skippy was who suckered^H^H^H convinced me to finally commit to such a big project, and I think it’s great that the early intentions that we’ve built on have already begun to nurture actual contributions.

   It’s interesting to hear what other people think about what we’ve started. I hope we can continue to show that the hype is well deserved.

   look who is the drama queen he he :).

   Anyways I totally love Wordpress. and currently there is no competition for Wordpress which is one of the reasons why I excited about Habari. This could become the Joomla vs drupal when it comes to content management systems (not blogging tools which is what wordpress is) to really great Open source CMS with healthy and friendly competition.

   I find it funny how some people feel threatened. Habari guys are just having fun [:)] wordpress will continue to remain popular and Habari is there to provide some healthy competition. Personally I feel since the launch of wordpress.com not much (featurewise) has been done to wordpress.

   Isn’t it funny how fanboys like ‘Chris’ and ‘Mark’ never seem to link to their blogs? Are they frightened we’re all going to point and laugh at their default Kubrick installations or something?

5. Habari - New Open Source Blogging Engine @ 天佑的自由天地

   [...] 起初我都覺得 Habari 極其量是眾多新 blogging engine 中的其中一個，不要說能否普及，隨時會「爛尾」胎死腹中，但最近聽到一些有關 Habari 的消息（1、2），令我覺得 Habari 極有機會跑出，甚至有機會成為 WordPress 的競爭對手，何出此言呢？ 首先看看有什麼人在 Habari 的 developer、designer 之列吧，有 K2 的 Michael Heilemann 和 Chris J. Davis，Khaled Abou Alfa、Owen Winkler、Skippy 等人，他們都是 WordPress community 中有名和有貢獻的人物，為何他們會另起爐灶開發 Habari 呢？ [...]

6. battered fanboy refuge « wordpress™ wank

   [...] If anything I said here helped create the general impression that Habari is a refuge for abused fanboys rather than yet-to-be-released blogging software, I’m really sorry, OK? Because I don’t think that image helps anyone. It doesn’t help Habari, because it makes them look like a project inspired and driven forward by the personal animosity of a bunch of guys towards Matt, and that is only appealing to a very, very small subsection of their potential userbase. It doesn’t help WordPress, because it makes them sound like an evil corporate monolith tyrannised over by a dictator who is cruel to fanboys; but a) this is a slight exaggeration, and b) a couple of the fanboys may have deserved it. It doesn’t even help the still-loyal fanboys who are given to saying that Habari only exists thanks to the personal animosity of a bunch of guys towards Matt, because the loyal fanboys are strangely reluctant to give anyone their URLs and consequently get no Google love. I don’t know whether they’re keeping schtum because we will laugh at their content-free blogs, or at their Kubricks, or because they fear an onslaught of rabid Matt-haters. Perhaps they just don’t exist. That would be reassuring. [...]

   Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.

   The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.

   The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

   In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.

   The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.

   It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.
