The New %GHRML [haml for Genshi]
I started GHRML some time ago as port of haml to Genshi but the initial reception was not that good, from the few blog comments and discussions on IRC I pretty much lost the interest in the project and haven't used it myself.
However I'm pleased to announce that Richard Davies took over the GHRML maintenance and hosts the project at ghrml.org. He's also using the project for a Django powered website and wrote a simple django integration module for it.
%GHRML still looks the same but some bugs are fixed now and template inheritance works. Appetizer:
%html
%head
%title Hello World
%style{'type': 'text/css'}
body { font-family: sans-serif; }
%script{'type': 'text/javascript', 'src': 'foo.js'}
%body
#header
%h1 Hello World
%ul.navigation
%li[for item in navigation]
%a{'href': item.href} $item.caption
#contents
Hello World!
I know this is a relatively old post, but I was wondering if GHRML is still being actively developed. I've used haml in rails and loved it, and trying to write templates with anything else just seems like a waste. Don't know if you have anything to do with it anymore, but please drop me a line if you have a clue about it's status - thanks.

I totally agree. This project was criticized in the old blog post but as another Rails and Django developer, I can say Haml is easily the #1 thing I miss about Rails.
