Elite Frontier

I finally got around to choosing a new blogging engine for EliteFrontier.org and I’ve chosen Mephisto. Mephisto is written in Ruby and uses Ruby on Rails. This is a definite plus, since I can easily update or modify the Ruby code at will. Performance is pretty good and initial test results are excellent.

EliteFrontier.org has gone through many incarnations over the past few years, starting as a minimalist wordpress blog, to a full multi-user Elgg installation, to finally a Mephisto based blog. So far I think Mephisto could be the foundation for new services and features, since Ruby is easily hackable.
