Dev-Picayune

Thinking through the major things I’d like to address in Pumpkinvine in the next few months:

• refactoring and further abstraction – I have a design for really organizing stuff properly, I just need to do it.
• comment system rewrite – I’d like to get commenting more integrated with the rest of the code instead of just a hacked add on. I’d also like to support RSS feeds of comments (both for single entries and overall most recent)
• MySQL backend – it would be good to support both the text-based system as well as a MySQL-based backend
• SQLite backend – and if I am going to support SQL, I definitely would also like to specifically support SQLite
• Recent entries links – it would be wise to provide links to recent entries
• generic setup and template – I’ll need a generic Pumpkinvine template for a complete blog-based site so that folks can get a new site setup and running in a matter of minutes
• category tags – it would be pretty important to properly support category tags and super cool to be able to handle having one of those funky tag maps
• improved API support – I think I’m still missing the delete functionality and I want to look into supporting Atom
• admin mode – it would be super handy to support security and admin via the web-site itself. Stuff like adding, deleting, changing users, editing, deleting comments, adding, editing, deleting entries would all be stuff of interest.
• documentation – um, this is pretty obvious, but I’ll need some sort of documentation if anyone else ever decides to really use it

The question is how quickly can I get any of that done?
