Full Feature Django Blog Engine


Estimated time: 24 hours

Description

There's a wide variety of Django Blogs out there, but not a lot of them are very full featured. I'm working on a blog engine because I'm sick of Wordpress, and all of it's bloat. Besides that, I just want to write some code. Hence, I'd like to make a blog engine that fits all the needs you get from WP, but a bit leaner.

Technologies

I plan to use Python and Django

Tasks

I already have a decent base together that I've been working on for about a week or two at:

http://github.com/f4nt/django-yaba/tree/master

I know it's not too fancy, but I'm a bit of a newb as well. Just want to work on this, get it polished, and learn some more python/django along the way. I'd also like to work on an installer for Linux based systems, which would hopefully make the app a bit more appealing. Half the reason WP does so well is an idiot could install it on his first time using a PC. :)

Currently I've been working to port the Pinax Blog version over to App engine using APP engine patch, It looks very full featured, could make a good base and contribute to two projects with some momentum?


Looked at the blog resulting from this project, one of the nicer looking and functional ones I've seen on Django, way to go!


Thanks for the kind words! We'll have to work together on something at some point.
