This looks great, but I would like to see this reflected in the admin interface. Particularly with spam - Wordpress' Akismet plugin does a great job of not only filtering out the spam but holding it in limbo in case of false positives. Typo does this but it's a bit counterintuitive from an administration perspective - they're not marked as presumed spam, merely unpublished. It took me a while to realise that real comments were being published and that spam was being held. Also it seems that you (blog admin) need to go and remove unpublished (ie spam) comments periodically. They seem to appear on the articles otherwise. Or am I doing something wrong?
As a recent wordpress convert, I have some experience with that blogging engines' plugin architecture. And I have to say that while it does encourage a large ecosystem of plugins, it also required a lot of work in putting the extensibility points into the base. From my experience, many plugins (still) require manual tweaking of themes and/or the wordpress base to make work right. Not all is well with the wordpress plugin architecture, is the lesson to be learned from posts such as this one: http://www.somethinkodd.com/oddthinking/2005/12/08/wordpress-and-text-encoding/
Some other suggestions: * Ability to configure multi-column sidebars * A wordpress-like "dashboard" of recent comments, incoming links, stats (number of articles, comments, etc) * Ability to specify a license on a per-page or per-article basis (with a blog-wide default obviously) which would generate the right HTML and RDF for easy inclusion in themes. I'm thinking specifically of making it easy to add a creative commons license to a blog. I for one am happy to see lots of action on Typo lately. And I hope to be able to contribute something back. Part of the reason for converting to Typo was to get up to speed on rails. |
