I'm not an expert on the internals of Habari, but please keep it clean and smart. Don't know if all the little features of other systems must be combined in Habari.
I've used WordPress for 4 years and this blogging-system is meanwhile so overbloated, so cluttered and the developers would like to target every little wish and aspect and every two days there is a new security-update... that was one of the reasons I moved to Habari and I hope Habari will not just become a WP-clone, but an unique blogging- system with its own style. An I like the direction Habari is moving. :) No need for widgets, imho.
