In 2 weeks I will be done with my finals (yay! no more school!) and I will 
concentrate on my projects.

My main project is the C blogging platform which is, well, a blogging platform 
- you didn't see that coming huh?. It's based on the suckless ideology (or at 
least the way I understand it) and I would really like someone to join me with 
this.
So here's the concept. It's split in to 2 pieces:
1. Uploading and interpreting/caching a post
2. Adding some dynamic code while serving the page (via CGI)

1: I use git (for versioning and easy management). The posts are written in 
markup.
Once you make a new commit, a program (or a script?) is triggered and scans the 
commit, finds the files altered and either interprets the markup files (smu [1] 
is used) and store them as html, so you don't have to do that on serve time, or 
deletes the old cached file.
Also, it alters a navigation.html file (used in the second piece)

The git integration and the navigation altering is not done yet.

2: Blog preprocessor (bpp [2]). It's a small cgi program that just finds 
keywords in the asked page and replaces them with file contents. This is used 
to be able to have a navigation bar and (much later) comment system.

so, if you ask for myfile.html (the post that smu has cached), bpp will scan 
the file for the "==navigation" keyword and replace it with the contents of 
navigation.html

I hope that you get the whole logic. The project has some *serious* security 
flaws (such as local file inclusion attack and not only), so do not use it yet. 
Not that you can do anything useful right now, but just saying... :P

SMU is not mine. I just forked it from here:
