REQUIREMENTS: new BLOG features & criteria - PLEASE REPLY
Hi tikiwikers,
the blog feature of tikiwiki is powerful and has a nice integration to the other components like wiki. But to succeed against the large number of compeditors in the open source and the commercial market, we need a lot more "killerfunctions" within the blog-component and the whole tikiwiki-system.
Now I want to try, to mention some important features and criteria for a blog system. In my opinion it's important to give these functions to admins and users.
PLEASE REPLY to this topic if you have additional features, you mean they are needed and reasonable. If you (mostly developers of tikiwiki) know or mean, that a function / feature is implemented yet or can be realized throughout customizing, please reply too. THX.
