Trespams Blog project

Trespams is going to suffer a big refactoring during the next months, so the trunk version is going to be quite unstable :)

Until further notice please use

svn co http://trespams.googlecode.com/svn/tags/trespams-1.0beta trespams

as the last "stable version".

Django has changed a lot during the lasts months, technology has changed also with lots of jQuery pluggins and Django pluggables applications that I want to use in the blog. I have also changed, I like to think I'm a more experienced Django developer that I was when I started the project, so it's time for a big change.

It's not going to be a small project, but for sure it would be a nice one

News

• 12/04/2009: I have removed the javascript hihglight based code and now Trespams uses Pygments. This introduces a dependencie: you need Markdown 2.0 and Pygments installed on your server.

• 11/04/2009: Rework on the menus and structure. Still lot of work to do but it seems the software is quite stable.

• 19/03/2009: Trespams runs now on my blog (http://trespams.com), making true the sentence "eat your own dog food".

Milestone for the new version

• Add Xapian as a search engine o something similar. Done
• Use blueprint css at least in the admin part and add a friendly interface with markdown editor in it. Done
• Improve the comment system.
• Allow to rate the posts.
• Work on the templates and css, perhaps using Blueprint as actually trespams has problems with Konqueror. Done
• Add metas to posts.
• Incorporate some django pluggables.
• Make it work with django trunk as always. Done

The idea is to make Trespams "the blog software for geeks (tm)", this software has become my pet project, so I'll put on it whatever improvement I'd like to have in a blog for geeks.
