Hello list, (I’ve been wanting to announce this for a while, but only got around to it now…) nanoc ([http://stoneship.org/software/nanoc/](http://stoneship.org/software/nanoc/)) is a Ruby CMS that doesn’t run on a server, but rather on a local machine. It “compiles” local source files (HTML, Markdown, eRuby, …) into static output ready for uploading to any web host. Advantages of nanoc include being able to preview the entire site before uploading it, speed (server simply serves static files), security (no server-side code to exploit) and version control (ability to put the entire site in a subversion repository). Install nanoc using rubygems: “gem install nanoc”, and read the documentation on the nanoc site at [http://stoneship.org/software/nanoc/](http://stoneship.org/software/nanoc/). ---

I’ll be trying it out and let you know how it works out for me. – Craig B. AIM: kreiggers
