Hi All- Just a quick note that we've cut a release of Scrawl, a new, ultra-lightweight blogging product for Plone. We're actively using it in production on a couple of sites, and we think it's a solid lightweight option to use while we wait for a more robust solution from the (excellent!) Quills team.
http://plone.org/products/scrawl Scrawl is a lightweight blogging product for Plone that attempts to re-use as much of Plone's out-of-the-box functionality as possible. Scrawl is deliberately minimalist. It provides: * A "Blog Entry" content type, which is simply a copy of a standard Plone News Item * A "blog view" view for Collections/Smart Folders * Nothing else! :-) With these elements, plus Plone's built-in features, it is easy to quickly construct a simple, powerful blog. Best of all, because Scrawl lets you use so much of Plone's built-in features for blogging, Scrawl is extremely compatible and future-proof. Scrawl works on Plone 2.1, Plone 2.5 and Plone 3, and should continue to work under future releases of Plone. Scrawl's basic features can be extended with other Plone add-on products such as qPloneComments and collective.captcha. Scrawl is inspired by many predecessors, including: Andy McKay's NaiveBlog SimpleBlog Quills Paab (Plone as a Blog) Enjoy! best, jon -------------------------- Jon Stahl | Program Manager ONE/Northwest New tools and strategies for engaging people in protecting the environment www.onenw.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] 206-286-1235x15 http://blogs.onenw.org/jon Subscribe to ONEList, our email newsletter!
