What is left to do?

-Tons of stuff, but here is a list of the things that I think are most
important at the moment:
+Tons of stuff, but here is a list of the things that I think are most
important
+at the moment:
- 1) IE compatibility. Currently linotype works only on Mozilla 1.3 or
greater because it needs the Midas editor. IE has an equivalent editing mode
since version 5.0. The client-side javascript was written with some portability
in mind but there is a long way to go, expecially for non-standard features
like image-handling/resizing and a bunch of other UI fanciness. Why should we
care about IE? well, if you want to update your blog from an internet cafe',
you can bet your ass they won't have mozilla 1.3 installed. that's mostly why.
+ - write different rendering stylesheets for mozilla or IE since IE is
*really*
+ poor at CSS2 compatibility. Why? well, again, 90% of the browsers are IE
and
+ this is going to take a while to change.
- 2) consider using slide or an alternative content repository instead of
plain file system.
+ - allow the ability to write essays and not only news and while you do
this,
+ considering adding pagination capabilities, also at the editing level
(for
+ example, a button that can trigger the presence of a tag that indicates
page
+ break)

+ - improve the ability to redeploy linotype without having to hardwire URLs
+ around the sitemap and flowscript. (probably goes along with

- 6) consider adding the ability to sinchronize two different linotypes. For
example, if you have one installed in your laptop and you are offline for a
while, you might want to synchronize it with the one online.

What is this?
-------------
-Linotypes were machines that first allowed a single individual to
mass-produce content without sacrificing typesetting elegance and text
readability. Blogs turned the web into writeable media without sacrificing the
ability to remain hypertextual. This is simply an attempt to combine the two
concepts together.

- Requirements
- ------------
-
-On the server side, Linotype just depends on Cocoon and saves its edited
content on disk, nothing else.
-
-To edit content with Linotype, a browser that supports the Mozilla Midas API
is required. For now this means
-Mozilla 1.3 or greater. Note that Midas is *NOT* part of standard Gecko, so
Camino and other Gecko-based browser
-won't do it.
-
-Thanks for your interest in Linotype.
