It's easy to write a "basic" blog in Django. If that's all people want, then great. Something like that will work perfectly for the majority of bloggers (who probably won't get that much readership anyway)...
But all this talk about making a "full-featured" blog app in Django -- one that will really get noticed (and thus get django noticed): what we need is a blog with *more features* that could actually begin to compete with something like Wordpress**. I mean stuff like Akismet, Flickr integration, delicious/magnolia bookmarks, multi-author (with per-object permissions), importing from Wordpress, statistics, easy web-based installation (NOT easy_install but a wizard someone could follow, like the Wordpress install, lots of customization, integration with pingback services, etc..... If that sounds like a lot, that's because it is. To even be a blip on the screen it will need this kind of stuff. I also doubt the django- admin will be sufficient for an application like this. I know a lot of the stuff I've mentioned above has already been hammered out by djangonauts -- I'm sure a snippet for almost every feature has been posted on djangosnippets.org. It's a matter of bringing all those together into something that works out of the box, rather than everyone patching together their own frankenstein. ** By the way, I know "competing with Wordpress" is nearly impossible. I'm just saying that to accomplish what it sounds like people here are talking about, we need close to the same level of functionality. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
