Yet another weblog software

Today I had a (IMHO) simple but good idea on how to combine weblogs with wiki systems: every weblog entry also represents a wiki entry. Whenever you post a new entry to your weblog, the software assigns a wiki name to the entry. This entry is then available just like a wiki entry, and these entries can be referenced with this wiki name from inside the weblog, which makes it not only a weblog, but also a wiki. And since I liked the idea, I decided to implement it by myself. Yes, currently, I'm creating my own weblog software. Unlike the other common weblog systems, my system -- which I called 'golbikiw', which is 'wikiblog' reverse -- is written in 100 % pure Ruby, uses Ruby HTML templates (just like Perl HTML templates) and doesn't need any database. Yes, you read correctly, it doesn't store anything to any database. All the entries are managed with the help of the operating system's file system, where one file represents one entry in the weblog.



Currently, reading and posting works, I still need to add some kind of authentication and functionality to actually edit and delete entries. And timestamps should be shown for each entry. And I have to resolve some bug something (Ruby? Apache? The browser?) seems to eat special characters like '?' or '!' in the subject when trying to post anything. And as soon as this is done, I will do the first release.
