[Typo3-dev] developing the blog extension

[Ingo Renner]

Hi all,

as I'm rebuilding my homepage at the moment I realy want to start the blog
project.

Here're my ideas about what we need and how I want to do it so far:

the basics we need to have a blog extension:
-posts (tt_news)
-trackback
-pingback
-categories (tt_news)
-rss/rdf/atom feed(s) (tt_news)
-comments (ve_guestbook)
-comment spam protection
(-comment feeds)
-templates (core)
-referrer logs
-search engine friendly URLs (realurl)

the extensions in braces are extensions which I think will fit very well
into that part. So the way I would like to do is add the missing features
in an extension called "blog tools suite" or "timtab (TYPO3 is more then a
blog)" similar to timtaw. We will need BE module(s) and FE plugin(s).
Further I would like to take code from existing blogsoftware like
wordpress, which is GPL, too. This way we don't have to rewrite everything,
development will propably fast and we're building on approved code.

Any ideas, comments or suggestions on that?
When can I start, who wants to contribute?

greetings
Ingo

BTW I would finaly be urged to finish rdf and atom support for tt_news ;-)
