The goal of Habari is to be something that does one thing and does that very well. WordPress has evolved into a fairly powerful CMS, whereas Habari aims to be a blogging platform. It is expandable, via plugins, to be much more than that, but the goal is not to do what WordPress does. As the userbase grows, so will the plugins available. We have very active mailing lists and an IRC channel, where if people express a desire for functionality, people with the skills and desire can make things happen. We do appreciate the feedback.

Maybe a poll on habari mainpage to find which wordpress plugins are used most? I think no one can beat wordpress at this point unless you offer more with better performance and usability.

" There is nothing stopping anyone from developing these as plugins for Habari, except maybe the fact that Habari is still in ALPHA. This is a very young project (though already totally awesome, much leaner, meaner and FASTER than WP-- and maybe you should consider why it's faster.) Anyway, for the record, I haven't used any of the plugins you think are so important, and neither have any of my clients or friends. Which points up to me the reason they should remain plugins and not part of core architecture.

I see your point, though, but have no problem denying such comments. Graham Another way to prevent spam might be to NOT display emails in plaintext on websites.

Thats why I made my <a href="../wordpress-seo/dofollow-trackbacks-plugin.html">DoFollow Trackbacks</a> plugin. Only people who deserve it will have the courtesy of dofollow.    You guys have forgotten the fact that people do actually hire people to make comments on forums like sitepoint.com and they do make relevant comments so that you approve them.

Habari doesn't automatically assume that any link in a comment is spam. The spam protection is quite good, and like yourself,  I think if someone goes to the effort of leaving a comment that contributes to the conversation, they are more than welcome to link to thier own site. If the comment doesn't contribute to the conversation, it simply won't appear, so nofollow is unneeded. So feel free to visit and comment, I'd love to hear from you.

But what about those people who has a legit post, website, or track-back that they know about and want to share with you. Shouldn't they get some credit? That is the point of pagerank - websites with useful content will go up naturally because people find the information and help get it out there. Congratulations, you've defeated the point of search engines.
