WordPress 2.3 & Scriblio
Note: cross posted from the mail list.
WordPress 2.3 is in its third and final beta release, and the big news is that it brings native tag support to the application that forms the backbone of Scriblio.
This means that we can spend more of our time doing things with those tags (all fielded metadata, like author or subject, is stored as a “tag” in Scriblio), rather than simply building the infrastructure for them. A few examples of things that we should be able to move more quickly on include spelling correction (it was in the prototype), fielded search suggestions, and user-contributed tagging (was also in the prototype).
I’ve been poking around in it for a while, but as of today I’ve shifted my focus to reworking Scriblio to take advantage of the native tagging support. As soon as I have something that doesn’t have fatal errors, I’ll post it to the Subversion repository for all to play with. If things go well, I’m hoping to have it available in time for the official 2.3 release.
