Re: pycon talk?

Here's the penultimate version...

-----------------
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.  Callbacks are placed 
at strategic points so that users may override as much or as little of 
the framework's default functionality
as they desire. These callbacks can be used implement plugins whose 
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
      * plugin registry
      * plugin installation
      * commonly used plugins
* Pyblosxom Architecture and Internals
* Example plugin source code
    * word count
    * comments
    * categories
    * XMLRPC related plugins, xmlrpc_metaweblog
* Future directions
