This looks terrific, but I wish it were written in perl or ruby instead of python. Nothing against python in general, I just find it a bit difficult to hack around with.
What is it? Mnemosyne-blog is a blog engine which uses a maildir for its storage. It is powered by python, uses restructuredText as its formatter, and kid as its template engine.
I'm not a big fan of restructuredText or kid, so why do I think this project looks so terrific? Mainly because it can leverage the authentication capacity of DKIM to verify incoming mail. C'mon, admin it. That is cool.
In general, I've been experimenting with alternative ways to publish blog entries. Here are some ideas of blog entry sources:
- Subversion / Git commit logs
- Emails
- XMPP for microblogging
- Log filters like pflogsumm (sanitized, of course!)
- Webcam
- Bug reports
- Forum posts
A lot of reporting systems already support e-mail notifications, so that feature alone opens a world of possibilities.
Actually many blog engines already support this feature. I know Wordpress and Blogger do, but I'd like to get a firmer grip on it myself.
