= Self-contained Blog plugin =

== Description ==

This plugin provides a project Blog, but unlike TracBlogPlugin and SimpleBlogPlugin it does not use Wiki pages to store the content. It has no dependencies on other plugins. 

This is a preview relase, only available for an up-to-date 0.11dev. The implemented features should work as expected, but some features are not yet completed.

Basic features are:
 * Create, edit and view blog posts under a new 'Blog' menu.
 * Browse post by month, category and author + and Archive page for all posts.
 * Comments for blog posts.
 * Admin page for basic settings.
 * Permissions for `BLOG_VIEW, BLOG_COMMENT, BLOG_MODIFY_OWN, BLOG_MODIFY_ALL, BLOG_ADMIN`.
 * Special handling of a post named 'about'.
 * Area in sidebar for information text, blogroll, links and similar.

Some features will not be completed before ongoing Trac context refactoring and timeline API changes are nearing completion:
 * Attachments on blog posts.
 * Posts and comments in timeline.
 * Diff between version of the post.
 * Delete post version, delete post and delete comment.
 * Fine-grained permissions - currently only 0.10 style permissions are implemented as there is no context/resource system implemented.
 * XmlRpcPlugin support.

'''That means:'''
 * Use in production at your own risk as it is still a 'preview'.
 * Don't file tickets for tasks that are missing as in 'not implemented' (see list above).
 * Feedback is most welcome - see [wiki:osimons] to get in touch with me by mail or on the #trac channel.
