I installed an email notification plugin called Subscribe2 which notifies users each time there is a new post. This entry will act as a test to see if it works. I also added the list of users (Authors) in the sidebar. This provides another means to filter through entries, in addition to archives by date and categories.

Jerry mentioned Blojsom, the blog engine that runs on Tiger (Mac OS X Server). One review suggests that WordPress has more advanced features (for now), but that blojsom is a nice blogging platform. Furthermore, Blojsom would use the same integrated authentication system for our server that other distributed applications use. WordPress stores its userbase in mysql. This makes user-integration with other applications a bit more tricky (requires scripts!), but possible.

Random things to do:

1. Remove Xoops from underneath interoperability.ucsd.edu. Converting this to static site with distributed tools.
2. Rewrite tasks on white board

Let’s hope the email notification works….
