Mengelmoes: Comments Implemented. What Next?

Sun Jul 27 20:25:43 2008 · Posted by Hugo · 3 Comments

Right, so now we have a basic commenting system. The comments allow no formatting though (other than line breaks, so that you can make paragraphs). It might not seem like much, but there were some rather significant changes under the hood, preparing the way for future developments.

What should come next? A short "TODO" list:

  • RSS or Atom News feeds
  • Threaded comments
  • Don't download the same header image with every page load
  • Spam protection on comments (probably a Captcha for those not logged in)

You tell me...

    Testing the commenting system. Yay!

    Atom feed implemented.

    Also to do:
    * recent comments
    * comment counts on general blog page
    * dealing with paging (when there are e.g. more than 10 posts - haven't done that yet)
    * a lightweight markup language (reStructuredText?)

    No URL does work. OK, that's an improvement.
