Habari represents a fresh start to the idea of blogging. The system is fast, easy to use, and easy to modify. New users should have no problem using and enjoying Habari. Advanced users should have no problem tweaking Habari to do exactly what they need it to do.
Habari makes use of PHP Data Objects (PDO), enabling prepared statements for all interactions with the database.
Habari is strongly object oriented, and implements the full suite of the Atom Publishing Protocol.
Here are some key features of "Habari":
· Modular, object-oriented core for easy extensibility
· Supports multiple database backends (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL)
· Uses prepared statements throughout to protect against SQL injection attacks
· Media silos to directly access various ways of media storage, like Flickr, Viddler, or the server's filesystem
· Atom Publishing Protocol support
· Multiple users (authors)
· Multiple sites on one installation
· Support for static content ("pages")
· Plugins
· Tagging
· Importers for Serendipity and WordPress
Requirements:
· PHP version 5.2 or above
