Magnolia M2? Who cares?
Anyone that wants to have their very own social-bookmarking site, that's who. Check it:
[Top secret document... please don't blog or tweet until 10:00 AM PST Friday, August 22] First of all, we want to say thanks from the bottom of our flower pot for being part of the Ma.gnolia community for the past couple of years. We are immensely proud of the strong and generous community that has budded and bloomed on Ma.gnolia and that has been all you. Secondly, we wanted you to be the VERY FIRST to know about a very exciting announcement we are making this morning at Gnomedex in Seattle: Ma.gnolia is kicking off development of Ma.gnolia 2, or M2 for short. What does that mean? Well, for one, M2 is a ground-up rewrite of Ma.gnolia, re-creating features we love today, taking a second run at what didn't worked as well as planned, on a distributed, service-based architecture designed to handle the large volumes of data we've seen. But even more significant, M2 will be an open source project that can be downloaded to remix and run as your own. Yep. That's right. In a few months, you will be able to download and install your very own Ma.gnolia! For any further details, stay tuned to the Ma.gnolia blog, but for now, you can find out more at http://ma.gnolia.org/. Your feedback and ideas are welcome! Here's to YOU, M2 and creating the building blocks of the open web! - Larry and the Ma.gnolia Team
Well, you heard it here first. I don't know if open source means that outside contributors can actually change the course of the main M2, but just the idea of being able to mash and mod it on your own makes for some interesting possibilities.
