Site updates and PyBlosxom's future plans

I did a quick update to the links on the menu bar of the web-site (you can see the menu bar to the left there). We need to maintain separate versions of the documentation for prior versions of PyBlosxom and it was getting messy so I moved all documentation links to the new documentation page. Hopefully it's clear enough for new users and old users alike.

The list of things we've been thinking about doing for PyBlosxom is really long and contains items that have been fleshed out as well as items that haven't been fleshed out at all and are currently just looking for someone to do some more analysis. I'm going to take my notes and dump a bunch of "feature requests" in the feature tracker on the SourceForge section. The trackers are mildly crappy, but it's better than spending the time right now to build something on our own.

The plan right now is to let PyBlosxom 1.2 simmer a bit and shake out some of the issues it might have. Additionally, I'm going to try to spend some more time on fleshing out the manual and fixing up the contributed plugins that I either wrote or had a hand in writing.

We've got some ideas about what the next version will entail, but nothing is set in stone. It's likely we'll know more in a month.

And lastly, Planet PyBlosxom is no more. I had the domain name for a year and ran the site, but then decided I didn't want to run it any more. At some point, I'll set up something on here, but it's low-ish on my todo list at the moment.

I think that about covers it for this status update.
