I took the plunge and released the first public alpha version of CBlog today and registered it in the Python Package Index (aka Cheesehop).

Please note that the download link at the Cheeseshop currently points to the ''egg'' distribution, which is not really useful by itself, since you also need a configuration file and some database bootstrapping data to run the application.

You can find these in the source distribution, which can be downloaded here:

http://chrisarndt.de/projects/cblog/download/

You can grab either the .tar.bz2 or the .zip archive, the contents of both are the same.

After you have downloaded the archive and unpacked it, have a look at the included README.html file. This contains some instructions to get you started quickly.

Please note that running CBlog requires that you have TurboGears >= 1.0b2 and some other third-party Python modules installed. If you install the egg via easy_install or use python setup.py install within the source distribution, the dependencies will be automatically downloaded and installed. But you still have to get the config file and create a database from the source distribution.

Sorry, for the complicated process, I will fix this when I find out how to include additional non-package data in the egg distribution.

Have fun trying out CBlog and let me know what you think of it!
