Language support will be addressed with 1.3. You can expect users to be able to select their language from their account preferences section. However, don\'t expect stories to be converted anytime soon. That will be difficult (dare I say almost impossible) to do with any sort of accuracy. Maybe, at best, we could provide hooks in Geeklog to allow you to use some of the online translation services for the story portion.

I too have noticed the modular design everyone has taken. I think it shows the maturity of this class of software. First, it was just a bunch of proof-of-concept code (ala Slashdot) munged together to do something new. Now weblogs are anything but new and to keep user bases and to encourage others to join in development we are having to make the code modular and maintainable. Geeklog is no different.

Ok...I better get back to coding now ;-)

Actually.. If I could clarify that statement of Geeklog\'s origin a bit. Geeklog originally was a fork of phpWebLog. JasonW contributed many thoughts and ideas to phpWebLog before deciding to take it (phpWebLog v0.4.2 i think), and rewriting.

Much of the design faults you see in Geeklog today are legacy issues from phpWebLog\'s own design limitations. phpWebLog was designed to be a simple weblog, that\'s all.
