It was forked from b2evolution, which might of forked from something else long ago
- chuckadams 2y agoNo, b2evolution was a fork of b2 (aka cafelog), as was WordPress. AIUI, cafelog was itself a PHP port of Movable Type, back when MT was open-source and in Perl.
- evanelias 2y agoAFAIK, there is no connection between b2/cafelog and Movable Type, other than that they were both self-hostable blogging software. Completely different core architecture. MT built static HTML pages using Perl CGI scripts, while b2 was dynamic PHP. Disclosures: I worked for Six Apart (makers of MT) although my employment was a while after all this; and later I worked for Tumblr, but well before Automattic acquired them.
- chuckadams 2y agoI stand corrected then, thanks :)
