Hi everybody,

on behalf of the Quills developer team I'm happy to announce, that we now have reached a first beta from the current trunk.

for more information i've included this snippet from the release notes:

Quills has undergone some substantial changes ever since its last stable release (0.9), many geared towards adapting Zope3 and Plone 3.0 techniques. This release aims at tying all of that together.

The 1.6 branch will also be the last version of Quills that uses its own Archetype based content types (Weblog and WeblogEntry). The development after 1.6 will concentrate on providing blogging features in a more generic way, much like Plone4Artists provides multimedia features without introducing custom content types.

Details on that approach can be found in the README from QuillsEnabled.

Take Quills 1.6 for a spin!

If you're looking for a 'full grown', future-proof blogging solution for Plone 3.0 give this release a spin! The easiest way to do that is to checkout the buildout we provided. Here's a one-liner that should work on *NIX systems:

svn co https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/Quills/bundles/quills- buildout/tags/1.6-beta1 quills ; cd quills ; python bootstrap.py ; ./ bin/buildout ; ./bin/instance fg

Then go to http://localhost:8080/manage (log in as admin with password admin) and add a Plone Site selecting the quills.app profile.

Then visit that site and install the Quills Product via the add-ons controlpanel. You can now add blog instances and blog away!
Give feedback

This beta release still has known issues and there are certainly still many kinks that need to be ironed out. You can help us greatly in creating a polished release that lives up to Plone's own standards by creating issues in Quills issue tracker. Thanks!

Tom
