# Pelican, 9 months later
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back in October, I released
|
|
[pelican](http://docs.notmyidea.org/alexis/pelican), a little piece of
|
|
code I wrote to power this weblog. I had simple needs: I wanted to be
|
|
able to use my text editor of choice (vim), a vcs (mercurial) and
|
|
restructured text. I started to write a really simple blog engine in
|
|
something like a hundred python lines and released it on github.
|
|
|
|
And people started contributing. I wasn't at all expecting to see people
|
|
interested in such a little piece of code, but it turned out that they
|
|
were. I refactored the code to make it evolve a bit more by two times
|
|
and eventually, in 9 months, got 49 forks, 139 issues and 73 pull
|
|
requests.
|
|
|
|
**Which is clearly awesome.**
|
|
|
|
I pulled features such as translations, tag clouds, integration with
|
|
different services such as twitter or piwik, import from dotclear and
|
|
rss, fixed a number of mistakes and improved a lot the codebase. This
|
|
was a proof that there is a bunch of people that are willing to make
|
|
better softwares just for the sake of fun.

Thank you, guys, you're why I like open source so much.
