Add Blog Product

This is something I think will increase videomakers investment in our site, as blogging about their work or about online video, or us doing the same, is different to posting a news item. Pyschologically speaking.

Also Critical Commons want this - but also want some other functionality that comes along with blogs (often) including archives and categories.

Thus Andy and I agreed it would be a cool thing to include in Plumi (and 0.3 most likely, considering CC want it, so we would have to prioritise it to an earlier release than we would otherwise).

I hope you are thinking in terms of modularisation for this. If not, then maybe this should be moved back into the EM trac.

I think the more things that are added into plumi, the less usable it is by anybody.

The blog functionality may be desired, but not always - see iCommons and the other fella looking to remove events, news, etc.

Some people just want some of the functionality and being more flexible works better for us I think.

Well Andy and I thought it was a function that would sit well in the package. But we can discuss :)

Plumi 3.0 pulls in the blog product Quills as part of the buildout process, but does not install it into the plone site. This can be left for the site administrator to do, should they want a blog product. Adding it as a default component would add to feature bloat.
