Ma.gnolia goes open-source

Written by Jim Reyes in Blogging Tools, Interesting 7 Comments

Social bookmarking site Ma.gnolia.com is opening its doors to the open-source world.  They have announced at Gnomedex 2008 that they would soon distribute their code publicly, akin to how WordPress.com has done for WordPress.org, the latter being a website that the public can download freely the full WordPress code.

This is a much anticipated move for the Ma.gnolia.com team as developments in technology are striding faster than the Ma.gnolia core tech team can handle.  With their move to open-source, we will soon see a much improved service offering.  Ma.gnolia’s Larry Hallf at Gnomedex 2008 says the following:

Some of the things to look forward to in this next version include:

  • A new stream view that shows you the freshest bookmarks of people you’re friends with on one single page.
  • Support for both OAuth and OpenID, with the latter making it easier for people to sign into hosted builds of Magnolia.
  • Sidebar customization
  • Theming
The open-source version won’t be available to developers until sometime in September, with a beta version (read: consumer friendly) on track for December and into the first part of 2009. In the meantime, if you’re a developer looking to get your mitts on the code it will be made available here.

    It would not be correct to say:

    akin to how WordPress.com has done for WordPress.org

    Simply because WordPress.org was available long before WordPress.com

    Yes, you are correct Ajay. :) It should be rephrased to:

    “Much like the symbiotic relationship of WordPress.com and WordPress.org”

    thanks for sharing your keen eye mate.

    cheers!
