I don't quite understand this - why does the blog publication show
particular drawbacks of the sitetree / repository scalability?
well, maintaining a big blog is a bit of a nightmare. i must confess i
haven't checked the blog in a while, but i tried to use it seriously a
few months back, and it would totally collapse when you have a few
hundred articles in it. especially browsing them was a nuisance. but
it's probably not really a repository thing... sorry for this off-hand
remark, it was inaccurate.
our content repository is document-centric and allows for
arbitrary xml.
that's good. blog content is simple and belongs in a database.
IMO a blog isn't an atypical Lenya application.
The major problem I see is that the blog publication contains
a lot of complex legacy code. It would be great if we could simplify
and modularize it to improve the maintainability.
we should withdraw the blog from the rc (at least mark it as
work-in-progress and hide it from the welcome screen) and clean it up
thoroughly before announcing it as part of a lenya release. the last
time i checked, it was neither stable nor had the minimum feature set of
a true blog, and it is certainly not on par with the rest of lenya.
regards,
jörn
