TODO: EXISTING BUGS
- BUG: Populate this site feature during package install does not first create a blog
Future Considerations
Activity
This was something started in tikiwiki but not finished before the port to bitweaver. Activity ratings can be achieved through other queries, there is a variety of information available about blogs, posts, hits which can be used to evaluate the activity of a blog or a user. However the activity columns still exist in the schema.Rankings
Not dissimilar to activity, rankings attempts to rate the activity of a blog. There are currently two rankings "latest posts" which is silly since we have a page for that and "most visited blog" There are numerous interesting queries which could be added that are missing like most blog posts, authors with most posts, authors with most reads, blog with most posts, posts with most reads, etc... These should be easy to add to rankings.phpCreate Blog Confusing
Some users find the create blog page confusing. We should add a help at the top that explains they are creating a blog not a post.Wishful Thinking
API support for desktop editors
Support for ATOM or similar API's so desktop editors like ecto or Qumana can be used.Completed Upgrades
