[TYPO3-typo3org] What should happen to buzz.typo3.org?

[Lorenz Ulrich]

Hi Ben

I have been working heavily with T3BLOG. At the current state I can't 
recommend it. It works fine if you just want to have an out-of-the-box 
running blog where everything (content, widgets) is on the same page.

As soon as you want to separate and customize things, problems will 
start. Have a look at the bugtracker. I'm discussing some improvements 
there.

The current solution is based on tt_news and Timtab. Maybe we could take 
this as an opportunity to discuss whether TYPO3 (v4) needs one 
stand-alone blog extension based on Extbase or if some extension could 
extend the "news" extension with comments, trackback, pingback, RSS and co.

Best regards,

Lorenz
