Textpattern is a free, flexible, elegant, easy-to-use content management system for all kinds of websites, even weblogs. Many of the sites that I have developed were built with Textpattern, and it has served me and my clients very well. However, now that I have discovered Symphony, I am finding the flexibility of Symphony to be far superior.
Textpattern 4.04 has just been released, so it may be worth revisiting. One of the main improvements would include the release of Textile 2.0 as part of the core Textpattern code.

Search. Command. Act without Doing.
Quicksilver’s greatest strength, however, is not search. Any item you are able to find, drag, or otherwise pull into its universe is endowed with many potential uses. Hitting tab takes you to the action field, where you can use the same adaptive search to select what you would like to do. Among other things, files can be emailed, copied, compressed. Text can be modified, transmitted between programs, or searched for on the web. Some actions even support an indirect object, so you can send an item to a person, move files to another folder, or open files with a specific application.

The protocol was originally designed and created by programmer Bram Cohen, and is now maintained by BitTorrent Inc. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.
BitRocket is a Mac OS X client using the BitTorrent protocol.
