Anecdotal, insightful, hare-brained, wacky, provocative, a bit too long but I like Evan and he's smart.

First night of hacking is over.

Well, Frassle1 is still in pretty sad shape. On the bright side, though, I have some of the core features existing now, so I should be able to make progress on some of the new stuff ASAP. This should indicate increased porting of old code to get back to the old level of functionality in a night or maybe two. This means working categories, category editing, note editing, and viewing categories. Then I can work on the new aggregation mechanism, account settings, and intercat relationships.

One implementation note: use more views. For example, there is a pretty similar display of a note when viewing a list of them (feed.tmpl) or a single note (note.tmpl). A view can encapsulate this difference and I can select from the view in order to pick out a class of notes (eg all in a feed) or just a single one. Then I can use the same loop to display them. Cake.

A tag proposed for RSS2.0 that gives a link to an RSS feed of comments on the current item. Definitely something frassle should implement.
