Berea College

Matt is passionate about the design and development of usable languages for embedded control. You can some of his work at concurrency.cc, a rallying point for parallel programming on the popular Arduino platform. However, most of the time Matt keeps himself busy as a member of the faculty at Berea College.

Give outlining a try: Now, Fargo is open source

It is true: there are many, many website generation frameworks. However, there are few outliner-based frameworks, and it's nice to see the release of good tools for others to build on.

In fact, the nanoc site has a rather nice list:

That said, I'm not keen on getting into a discussion that compares the apparent merits of one web generation framework over another. It sounds an awful lot like a flame war... :)
