TextPress Development Blog

Let me give you a brief overview about the current TextPress status. Right now all the core features and administration work and we have about ten plugins that implement various features such as automatic typographic quote setting, file uploads, static pages and support for markdown, creole and HTML with automatic paragraphs.

Here a list of completed features:

• Automatic Paragraph setting and HTML cleanup
• support for multiple authors
• extensible plugin interface for themes, parsers, event driven plugins, APIs and widgets
• theme-able, both templates and CSS files of course
• basic anti-spam capabilities thanks to the akismet plugin
• Atom feeds
• Pingback-support
• a mixture of tags and categories*
• threaded and flat comments
• database support for at least SQLite, Postgres and MySQL

* I’m not quite happy with that right now, we should probably split it into categories and tags like most recent WordPress installations.

What’s missing for the initial 0.1 release are converters for at least WordPress and RSS/Atom feeds and an improved comment moderation system that keeps spam comments and unmoderated comments apart.
