b2 has been forked: WordPress

The main author of b2 has been MIA for months. So some new kids have grabbed the code and forked it. They’re calling it WordPress. The code is available at SourceForge and the project seems to be pretty active. They aren’t very ambitious though. The main thing b2/WordPress needs, I think, is a plugin/mod architecture. There’s a reasonably big and lively b2 community out there (Maciej’s found ~700 users so far) with lots of neat hacks and improvements, but they mostly require manual code changes to integrate, which is just too much of a pain.

Fixing the URLs is important too. It’s too bad to see their own development weblog uses b2’s stupid default URLs.
