I’m very proud to announce the first release of Ruby-Stemmer, an implementation of Stemming Algorithm using SnowBall API from libstemmer_c.

That’s it. Is not a pure ruby implementation, but the external library it’s included with the download so you don’t need to install anything else, just run: gem install ruby-stemmer.

The usage is very simple:

require 'lingua/stemmer'
s = Lingua::Stemmer.new
s.stem "installation" # ==> install

You can change the language or the encoding by passing them to the Stemmer constructor. For example to run the Romanian algorithm with ISO-8859-2 as encoding just use:

s = Lingua::Stemmer.new(:language => 'ro', :encoding => 'ISO_8859_2')
s.stem "găinațul" #==> găinaț

You can read the complete list of algorithms in modules.txt

The code, released under the terms of MIT-LICENSE, is available also on github

git clone git://github.com/aurelian/ruby-stemmer.git

Please use the infrastructure provided by github to report issues.

I’m proud to release the ultimate sidebar item to add on your Textpattern based blog: The FriendFeed Feed!

aao_friendfeed – still a work in progress – is just a plugin for textpattern and you can see a “demo” already on the bottom of my sidebar.

Follow the development of this amazing tool on the textpattern forum.

Medick is an open-source web framework written in PHP.

Started in June 2005 at berlios.de, Medick is at version 0.3.0pre2.
The website is here and it includes a nice FAQ and the API docs.

WSM, Windows Service Management, is an extension to the PHP programming language, that allows you to control Windows NT Services from PHP scripts.

The project was started in December 2004 since I needed a nice way to start or stop Windows Services from Fastwork Control Center. In January 2005 the project was moved to berlios.de
Octomber 2005: I re-wrote the extension to give away a nice OO API. Also, a website powered by PmWiki was launched to http://wsm.berlios.de/

Fastwork is a Windows Installation Kit for Apache, MySQL and PHP.
The project was started in February 2003, In September 2003 Fastwork was registred to sourceforge.net

After 3 years Fastwork has more than 4000 downloads and more than 26GB of traffic, as reported by the sourceforge stats.

Fastwork was the first Installation Kit to install PHP 5 or MySQL 5, and is the only one with a Control Center written completly in PHP with Winbinder.

In September 2006, the website of the project was closed ( http://fastwork.locknet.ro ), since I’m unable to mentain it. Also, due to the lack of time I’m unable at this point to give support or to release new versions. In 2003 it was really hard to get the “triad” working on Windows but this days, with the upcomming release of PHP 5.2, the installation procedure has been simplified.
