Re: pycon talk?

Ok, the deadline is Friday, so if we're serious about a talk, we need 
to get moving.  Here's a first real cut at something we could submit.  
Please don't be bashful for suggestions about the intro paragraphs or 
the outline.   I want to be able to post this by mid afternoon Friday 
PST.

-----------------
pyblosxom is a weblogging system written in Python.  It uses the 
filesystem storage model pioneered by blosxom, but has diverged in 
terms of internal architecture and organization.  pyblosxom takes a 
microkernel approach to blogging software by providing a small core 
framework that embodies the blogging data flow.  This framework 
provides a plugin mechanism that allows users to insert their own 
functionality at specific points during the data flow.  This 
functionality can range from alternate page rendering to comments to 
calendar based archives.

pyblosxom has a growing user base and a small, friendly development 
community.  Our goal for this presentation is to increase awareness of 
blogging in the Python community, provide an introduction to pyblosxom 
and its capabilities, and describe enough of the pyblosxom internals to 
attract additional developers to the community.

The outline for this talk will be:

* Introduction/Overview
* Installing and Configuring Pyblosxom
   * flavors
   * plugins
      * comments
      * categories
      * archives
      * searching
      * metaweblog
      * caching
      * conditional http
* Pyblosxom Architecture and Internals
* Example plugin source code
    * comments
    * categories
    * XMLRPC related plugins, xmlrpc_metaweblog
* Future directions
