First of all, time for an explanation: Nleyten.com is not the only community in my plans. It may not even be the first one to go "live". In fact, I am planning a whole set of communities based on the same guiding principles, and Nleyten simply happens to be (provisional) umbrella name for all of them. These communities will also share the same backend engine, the one which up till now I have been informally referring to as the "Nleyten backend" or "Nleyten CMS".

Sooner or later, this practice of using the same name for the common backend and one of the branches was bound to cause confusion. With this in mind, and for a few weeks now, the backend (and associated frontend stylesheets and scripts) has been known as "Lambdium" in the Subversion repository. Let me thus introduce to you the Lambdium CMS engine, the one that will power Nleyten and sister sites:

About the name: it's a chemical element inspired pun on the concept of "lambda" (remember that I am using OCaml, a functional programming language). And since I am using Ocsigen (another chemical element pun) as the web development framework, "Lambdium" seemed like a perfectly appropriate name.

As for the Subversion log at revision 1000, it says that I "Finished handler refactoring". It's a bit of a long story to explain it in English, so it suffices to say that the Lambdium CMS is slowly taking shape!
