Blogging Roller

Russell Beattie has released <a href= "http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/index.jsp?date=20020813#20020813023656"> SimpleWeb, an open source Wiki written in Java.

I've browsed Russell's MiniBlog code and the code for SimpleWeb. I don't really like lots of Java code in JSP pages and there are very few comments in his code, but there is something special about Russell's style. Russell calls it his keep-it-simple, just-to-get-it-done style. He keeps dependencies to an absolute minimum, uses the power of JSP code-on-page to his advantage, and writes code in a clear and easy to follow style. Even if you don't use MiniBlog or SimpleWeb, they are nice code examples to have on hand.
