Dotclear
Take control over your blog.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Dotclear actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Dotclear is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at git.dotclear.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Dotclear actually does
Dotclear is a web application designed for publishing and managing a blog. It provides a structured space to author and organise articles on a self-hosted server. As the official details are minimal, it functions broadly like traditional publishing software within the blogging category.
Best fit: It is suited for users who want to run a dedicated blogging platform on their own PHP-compatible infrastructure.
Worth knowing: Activity on the project appears stagnant, with no recent releases or commit data available to gauge ongoing maintenance. It also faces heavy competition from more widely adopted alternatives.
Deployment notes
Since it is built with PHP, you will typically need a web server like Nginx or Apache, a PHP runtime, and a separate database such as MySQL or MariaDB with persistent storage configured.
