It works!
Default Apache install?
We should have a community blog!
^Actually you need a blog too. One that you actually update.
What do you have in mind for a community blog? I’d play.
^Like one for just CSS, XHTML and JS sort of stuff? That would be cool.
I am down, my blog already has some entries in it, working on getting more. I have a prepaid Dreamhost account just sitting there doing nothing. Might as well make it useful.
^^ that should be interesting.
[ot]Does anyone know a good voice recorder/speech recognition combo?I usually get these ideas about posts at times when I’m nowhere near a keyboard or I feel too lazy to type after I got it all sorted in my mind.[/ot]
[ot]One word, little pocket notebook. It’s simple and doesn’t require batteries.[/ot]
Anything goes for a community blog in my mind. I’m sure we all want/wanted to write blogs, but it’s hard to maintain as one person. A community blog seems to fulfill both needs. Technical/useful things, tips, funny things, whatever that’s witty or not pretentious like 98% of the blogs out there…
I don’t know how well it’d work or scale though. Gathering every kF member for a blog seems ridiculous. For one thing it’d have 200 entries a day and we might as well pull together an RSS aggregate of technorati… But i’d contribute (in very low volumes)!
Kinda thread hijacking here. Maybe start a new thread so Jeff Wheeler’s ego doesn’t go through the roof.
I’d think we would just use wordpress’ built in features. Add a few editors and then the ones that can proofread and say yes and no to blog entries and publish. Simply only allow the full time members editor privileges.
The hardest part is getting a theme that everyone likes (that has all the features installed / plugins… If we did it I could expand my BBcode wordpress plugin to keep formatting simpler).
^ If we do any formatting, it’ll be Textile or Markdown, I can’t stand BBcode. 
I’m all for a community blog. And I’ll definitely pitch in with any editing/proofreading that needs to be done. (I’m an excellent proofreader.)
^Everyone here knows BBcode though (plus I can quickly add custom tags). Doesn’t matter my plugin supports both (would take a few changes… but could support Textile and Markdown).
^ Just use wordpress 2.5 with shortcodes, I’ve got a textile one I’ve made for mine.

[textile]
h3. Textile
textile is *MY* favourite LML(Light Markup Language) supporting a more readable natural typing. Notice the acronym I wrote. Now notice it become an <acronym> tag.
[/textile]
[BBcode]
Now I'm writing in **BBCode**
[/BBcode]
[/noparse]
^ I kind of like Stuart’s idea.
[ot]Stuart, get on Google Talk, now![/ot]
^My BBcode has if statements (which could add a good amount of support for stuff)… but theres no reason not just just support them all by defining which ones to turn on at the top of the page/post.
[markup=bbcode]
[markup=textile]
[markup=markdown] (hehe)
It wouldn’t be that difficult. Or do evil’s way.
^ I like that solution better, contain it all into a single, well namespace thing.
I don’t think Jeff would contribute if it isn’t Markdown 
^He wouldn’t but if we put all 3 in there no one can be mad. :fab: My source uses an XML file for the parser to make it easier to install but for something like this we would probably want to use a database as there will be many more tags ect.
Yea wrapping the whole thing seemed a bit much, so its either defining which one is being used at the top or always having them on by default (which is more PHP intensive).
