Today, Brilaps released version 0.8 of Mia chat -Ajax web based chat- application. Chad Auld states, “This release is stable enough for everyday use and has undergone a great deal of testing on the various popular platforms and browsers. We have been using it to do all our own chatting for months now and we’re loving it. We are nearing a 1.0 release, but have a few new tricks to try before then”. Mia Chat is released under the MIT License. For more information about Mia Chat go here.
Edit: Mia Chat and MiaCMS are entirely different applications. Mia Chat is a a standalone web application. It cannot be installed as an extension on MiaCMS.

We made it. An -perhaps- insignificant step for humanity, but a giant step for the MiaCMS project.
MiaCMS has been selected as a finalist in the PacktPub 2008 Open Source CMS competition. Our precious project will compete in the the “Most Promising Open Source CMS” category. MiaCMS project is only about 5 months old, but we have worked hard and are quite proud of the results and the interest in the project.
The official list can be see here:

The official voting (the real thing) starts Monday September 1. Your nominations helped get us to this point, and we are thankful for that. However, we need to ask you one more time to show your support for MiaCMS project.
