I think it would be a good idea to bundle Federick Ros' tutorials[1] with Hobix. That will improve the situation. But you are right, except for the very basics there isn't much available. If you know Ruby and go through the (for Hobix steeper) learning curve, you can make it do everything. > Ok, i since i was unable to install v0.3b and 4 i > tried this as root (owner root.root is important): > Indeed. the setup.rb forgot to copy some files and i > copied by hand.

Hmm, I used setup.rb to install Hobix but never experienced that files were missing. > Is Apache (i use apache2) used as a proxy via webrick? > > Finally i managed to setup hobix on Debian Testing. Hobix is a part of Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hobix.html I suggest you use this package. I know it is in experimental, but it is installable in Lenny/testing. I am currently waiting for the new release before I upload it to Sid/unstable so that it can enter Lenny/testing two weeks thereafter. > There will be a new release 5.

I am aiming at using formats that are locale dependant, so if you run under LANG/LC_TIME=de_DE or a variant, the dates will be rendered german style. * Regarding Hobix itself: It is currently not gettextized, so Hobix error/help/... messages will be in English and I reckon also field names like: title, author, created, content. > Can i write html tags in a post?

The reason that I use Hobix is that I don't have to deal with HTML at all and that links, lists, emphasize, etc. is all denoted in a nice textual way. > I see that i can not write german umlauts ä ü ... > How can i write umlauts? Do you use the internal or external editor? If you use an external editor and it supports umlauts, so will Hobix. > I wrote a first test entry: > > [...] In my case this link points to > http://localhost:2000/Test/firstEntry > > Clicking this link results in this error: > > Not Found > `/Test/firstEntry' not found.

On several places Hobix produces links to /path/to/post instead of /path/to/post.html. This is because most users use Hobix with Apache and it supports so-called MultiViews which makes sure that Apache loads /path/to/post.html if you call for /path/to/post, however this is not supported by any other webserver that I know, so we're trying to get the right links everywhere. Thanks for you suggestions.
