I am looking for open source code bases of web sites that developers can learn from, inspiring sites that get everything right.

In particular, a site should excel in all these areas:

  • Consistently fast load speed
  • Semantic HTML
  • Seperations of concerns (Data/HTML/CSS/JS)
  • Accessible
  • RESTful
  • Gracefully degrades / Progressive enhancements
  • Appropriate HTTP headers, including caching
  • Secure

These websites should be open source and the code should be hosted somewhere.

With no doubt I'll suggest Movable Type Open Source. Clean, simple, well designed and coded.
