Answer 3

Hi. I'm the author of Nesta; nice to see it getting a mention. I thought that maybe I should explain the design goals behind it...

1. No web based UI. I'm a programmer and am happy using a text editor for my content. In order to change the look and feel I'd rather edit the raw markup and CSS.
2. Should be very easy to customize, without getting out of step with the main code base. There's no release to download, you simply clone the master git repository, start making your changes, and then use git to merge in any improvements that are added to the master repository.

Significant changes are announced (currently via the Nesta Twitter account), or you can monitor the github XML feed for changes that you might care about.

It's still in quite an early stage of development. By that I mean that there are lots more features that I want to add, but the features we've got so far are very stable.

I'm also very open to patches, discussions on what it could/should do, etc. (just drop me a line via my github page (github.com/gma) or get in touch on Twitter).
