[phpWebLog-devel] phpweblog.. the weary path we/she mends...

[jason <ope...@ey...>]

Yes, development is still roaring.  There's alot on my plate at this
point, but I've started the nightly unstable tarballs again in case
anyone want to peek at what's new. (it's also on phpweblog.greenhell.com
- the admin passwd is 'temp123' - please don't change it or delete
layouts.)

Everything I do is logged in the HISTORY file as well.
Tonight, among a few other things, I added the ability for story posters
to get comments mailed back to them if they so desire, and if the admin
so desires to have this feature on.
I wasn't sure what address the mail should come from, as I don't want to
cause alot of bad returns or meaningless mail to be sent down any
pipes.  As of now, when a comment gets mailed, it comes from:
From: SiteName <SiteEmail>

Maybe this should be a fake address or something it'll bounce if it gets
replied to. hmm.. Ideas?

Well, here's my current TODO:

* multiple static pages where the html is editable through the
        config, and the navigation automatically lists them.
* add threaded comments
* add database abstraction layer
* add banner support
* add poll
* allow blocks to be restricted to a specific topic or all
* RDF imports in blocks
* add more error checking

Some of these will not be added anytime soon. (threaded comments,
database abstraction) simply because I lack the motivation and need to
do this right now.

On a personal note, I wanted to say that this project is becoming much
more robust than I ever imagined, and I am having a blast wasting time
on it.  I'd like to open the doors of innovation to all of you to help
guide me in direction as to where this thing goes.  If I am careful,
this can turn out to be a really really good slashcode replacement and
much more, but at the same time, I am tediously trying to not turn this
into a 'ok' replacement with alot of bloat.



Does anyone like the idea of having stories sit in a purgatory state
(unmoderated) until other users vote on whether or not they get
posted/trashed? (www.kuro5hin.org does this quite well)

The admin would have the choice in config of:
Moderation: [] None [] Admin only [] User Voting

This would require alot of additional work, and I was curious if anyone
would want this for their purposes.




Oh, and....

This is fixed.  With a default password of 'password', you just go into
config, and you can change it there.
Is that what you mean?
