Possible Migration to Leonardo Blogging Software

I've been playing around with Leonardo, and will probably migrate to that (from PyBlosxom) in the near future.

Warning: If you are an RSS subscriber then the feed will stop working once I make the switch (since Leonardo only supports Atom). If it breaks, just check the site and subscribe to the Atom feed instead.

Motivation to move to Leonardo

  • Wiki-style editing (so I can easily edit my site from anywhere)
  • Category tagging (rather than sub-directories)

Barriers to moving to Leonardo

  • There's not much documentation (but apparently a wiki is coming soon)
  • I'm having a hard time uploading inline images via the wiki interface
  • Missing (or undiscovered) features that would be nice:
    • different menus for different parts of the site
    • different title banner for different parts of the site
    • access control for giving others limited editing rights
    • support for compiling pages to static content

As for the feature wishlist, I might take a crack at implementing some of them, but first things first.

I briefly investigated NewsBruiser, but it seems too hard to make it look pretty.
