Open Melody

Having been a huge fan of Movable Type personal publishing platform for so many years, I was thrilled to learn that MT founders had inspired and empowered an Open Source software called Open Melody. Now there’s a group of web developers joining forces to collectively foster the evolution of a better content management system.
To test the software I installed a sandbox on www.macumbabeach.com, connected my web server to the Github (for social coding), joined the mailing list and community, I’m set-up to add my contributions to this great work in progress, while simultaneously developing a “Rio de Janeiro Travel Blog” called Macumba Beach.
