Confusing? You bet. Actually, WordPress started it. When weeks ago they announced that 3.1 had been released and they named it “Django” in honor of the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and weeks followed, Django named their 1.3 release “WordPress”.
The first time I saw the news in my facebook account that wordpress named their latest version Django I was surprised due to the fact that another CMS named Django existed. Now, i am much more surprised that Django retaliated by naming their latest release WordPress. Obviously, WordPress is the current behemoth of CMS and blogging and Django is the underdog but I think it’s a bit unprofessional for the guys in wordpress to name their update Django. C’mon guys, pick your own size like Joomla or blogger.
But I just find these whole incident comical and I am enjoying it in a good way. I dont think wordpress is bullying Django but obviously they did a research first when they come up with that name. I think WordPress is just messing Django and Django’s response is more funnier.
WordPress now named their 3.1 release “Reinhardt”, the last name of Django, the jazz guitarist while Django named their 1.3 release “Automattic”, and according to Django, that is the last name of WordPress.
This happening just made my day. I love reading news like this.
WordPress and Django, you both rocks!
