Thanks a lot!
Yesterday I also started with the better blog integration based on the 
Kubrick theme. But I want to name the THEME "blog" and not "Kubrick", 
because it will be easier to decide for the admin then. Kubrick might be 
too less descriptive.
The CSS is Kubrick.css and themeinfo.php explains about that.
It also links to your and Michaels original sites.

Archives:
The new plugin BlogArchives is already in CVS. This displays the list of 
months with blog entries + number of entries, like this:

Archives
* December 2004 (2)
* November 2004 (1)

As box method (in the sidebar) and as normal plugin (within a page).
Linked is another blog list, showing the titles (summary) of the blog 
entries of this month.

Calendar:
I want to integrate Blogs with the Calendar and CalendarList.
I think enabling the Calendar on the top of the right sidebar is a good 
thing, though Michael didn't have it in his original Wordpress theme.
We have two Calendar's: the old simple one, and a new javascript based, 
which enables fast navigation across months without extra request.
Maybe the jscalendar css has to be simplified a bit.
Currently all other bloggers just use a simple calendar.

Blog Pagenames:
You just have "blog/day" as pagename.
We have "UserName/Blog/day/time" as pagenames. Hmm.
Our findBlogs method requires "Blog/" to be a subpage for fast searches.

Leaving out the time? Is this a good thing?
   I have no opionion. Just that we had the time for a long time now,
   but I don't know if it would be better to leave out the time.

How to format blog pagenames?
   Currently we display the verbatim pagename: "UserName/Blog/day/time".
   You always display the just summary. This is fine for blog-only
   wiki's.
   TitleSearch and the WikiLink formatter have to be extended to
   those find blog entries.
   Maybe format it as "pagename summary". This will keep the natural
   ordering and the information. But probably your solution is the best.
   I'll think about this as Theme extension.

Multi-User:
I also want to enable multi-user mode. Default is always ADMIN_USER, but 
why not allow blogs of other authorized users? HomePage just shows the 
ADMIN_USER blogs though.
You just have "blog/day" as default pagenames.
For AdminUser this could stay (leave out the username), and the 
multi-user extension could be "OtherUser/Blog/day/time".
Or maybe use "AdminUser/Blog/day/time" for consistency.

Photo:
The Photo section needs also some work. I just started with more 
PhotoAlbum work last week. This needs better javascript navigation and 
better UpLoad support. And maybe per-user upload directories for better 
protection and to avoid nameclashes.

Syndication:
The RecentChanges rss formatter has to be limited to a certain blog 
only. To cut down the noise ratio.
   <?plugin RecentChanges pages=ThisUser/Blog/* ?>
