“publish with impunity” is very catchy, but doesn’t capture the true nature of mephisto. I suggest as an alternative; something along the lines of “blog engine of the 1337” because surely you can't install this software without a base level of technical prowess. Once more the lack of an installer or sufficient documentation makes it truly a tool for those in the know. I couldn’t imagine recommending this, in its current state to anyone.
The back-end UI is streamlined and usable, yet I've not broken into the ability to host multiple sites... It definitely screams “Web 2.0” as any self-respecting ruby application should, but the 36 point fonts for things like titles are truly obnoxious. I’m also left wondering if the lack of a WYSIWYG editor was a configuration choice I missed.
I need to see about the multiple-site capability and then import my old articles. Maybe I’ll make something of this yet.
