Suggestions For GeekLog

Authored by: Dirk on Sunday, October 20 2002 @ 01:34 am EDT

Most of your suggestions are not new and have been discussed before. Search this site or have a look at our long list of feature requests.

Btw, you can give the story.submit, event.submit, and link.submit rights to any user group, so that feature is already there.

Bundling "all" available plugins and extensions with the Geeklog tarball doesn't make sense, IMO. The tarball is already quite huge (around 1 MB) and this would only increase the size further without any obvious gain. We may need to make it more obvious where you can get add-ons from, but keeping a list of these things up to date is a tedious task and I'm glad that people like squatty, Matt and others are doing their best here already.

And, as usual: This is an Open Source project - why not contribute some of these yourself?

bye, Dirk

When I said story.submit, I was refering to the users\' ability to send in stories (get published, etc), I forgot for the moment that a permission by that name already exists; forgive me. I also mentioned similar permissions like comment.post and poll.vote, which do not exist.
1 MB is quite small. Sure its large for us dialup users to download, but then again, I\'m sure very few (if any) GeekLog users run their webservers on dialup. Most such webservers are on cable/DSL, T1, or higher, in which case even a 10MB download would be considered small. With that said, maybe I should create such a geeklog+all addons bundle and see if it catches on. We\'ll see. :)
Also, I have been thinking about making some of these hacks myself. The hard part here would finding a good way to release them, as installing them would require making lots changes to various geeklog files.
