 * I have been doing research on flat file blog scripts for an article I was going
   to right about how some scripts are insecure and I’ve come across something called
   [FlatPress](http://www.flatpress.org/home/). And I noticed the structure and 
   look of FlatPress is just lke WordPress.
 * On the [projects page](http://automattic.com/projects/) of Automattic.Com it 
   doesn’t have any FlatPress linked on it. Is FlatPress affiliated in anyway with
   WordPress?

 * I was just wondering because it really does look similar.

 * Hi!
 * This is NoWhereMan from FlatPress project.
 * To ask your question, the project is not affiliated with WordPress, but takes
   much of its inspiration from WordPress, and even some of the code (FlatPress 
   is GPL’d so, if ever the contirbution might be in two directions, but my code
   is still a bit messy :P).
 * The goal is providing a similar user experience and developer facilities (aka
   Plugins :)) with the same flexibility of WordPress, but on text files, instead
   of using a database.
 * The name is intended as an homage to the “real” project
 * Matt seems [aware](http://photomatt.net/2007/01/09/flatpress/) of this, though
   🙂
 * As a further proof of our good faith there’s even an exporter from FlatPress 
   to WordPress, so if one will ever get the chance to have a DB or just wanted 
   to switch, he will be able to do it
