I did a pyblosxom backport today. Easy job (using dependencies from backports.org), just replace all occurrences of python2.3 by python2.2 in the debian/ subdir...

After a couple of hours toying around with pyblosxom i got it mostly working like i want to. The real blog move is delayed by two things:

First of all, all my blog guids will change. I don't want to fill up planet.debian.org again... any idea (except dropping my old entries)?

Secondly, i'd like to have a multi-user blog. That is, i need to modify pyblosxom to change the data dir (and some preferences) depending on some parameter. With blosxom (perl) i used an environment variable.

Also i'd like to provide blogging API support for other users: they don't have ssh access, and many find it difficult to ftp... Having a webui would help, too - but for both i need to enable write access for the web server. Having pyblosxom run as fastcgi or so would be cool.

Debtags need more work on my side. Tagging is coming along okay since the facets restructuring by Enrico. His tag submission tool works fine, and i wrote a script recieving these updates via mail.

Today, Enrico found the first people who adopted tags (IIRC ocaml and brasilian were adopted) - this is great, but i'll have to add my side: sending them email notifications when someone changes these tags.

Well, i hope i'll find time to clean up my maintainance scripts and check them in into our subversion repository. I don't think i'll checkin the webgui - it really needs to be rewritten.
