The tailor himself emerges to propose not so much an altered white pantsuit, but rather a completely new set of clothes for all of us to wear! Will it be a frilly fuchsia tuxedo? Or rhinestone-studded coveralls? Regardless, it's likely to be shiny...

Most of my blogs were created using v0.3b. Will it still be possible to override skel templates in hobix.yaml, or will there be some other way? Re: Camping, how dynamic is dynamic? Will the model still involve generating static output which can be transferred to a server where Ruby does not live? > Quick templates are cool, but Markaby is great, too.

As long as there's a clear migration path for old entries (and other stuff as above), I say go. Others would likely nominate measures to defeat comment spam (see the recent exchange <http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/hobix-is-the-way/2006-October/000822.html> re: using akismet).
