“Why not put your efforts into helping with drigg?”

Because Hotaru CMS is actually a rewrite of Social Web CMS. We wanted to provide an upgrade path for existing SWCMS users.

Drigg seems to be abonded, to me. And the managing part is way outdated for my taste. but i am happy if someone can convince me otherwise

Hi Stefan .. one of the sites I develop is using Drigg and whereas it has been attached to Drupal, there does not seem any activty happening with Drigg for quite a while

unless things have changed in 2010

i don´t really get it – what are the advantages of hotaru (comp. to drigg)?

Why not put your efforts into helping with drigg. It´s open-source and drupal has so many incredible projects going on besides drigg – feeds, managingnews, open-atrium, solr-integration, auto-tagging, extractor,…

thanks for answering

This system looks absolutely incredible for something that was nothing six months ago. I cannot believe the amount of truly useful spam protection methods that have been developed so far and the template system looks very similar to wordpress as described in the article.

From what I can see thus far hotaru is an excellent effort and one of the most exciting cms prospects I have discovered in 2009, a truly modular CMS that is what you make it is a fantastic idea. This one could be the pligg killer we have been waiting for at long last as it’s definitely a more refined, well coded and thoughtfully produced product than pligg.

Time for Pligg to sit up an take notice, it would seem you have a serious competitor on your hands that don’t screw over their users for time and or cash for crap.

Great work Nick i can’t wait to get involved in the community.

Thank you for the review! For anyone who has made a WordPress plugin or theme, Hotaru should come quite naturally. We’ve got a good set of tutorials to show budding developers and designers how they can get involved, and I’m usually around to help in the forums.
