To do list

The software that runs this blog was written completely from scratch starting in December 2002: there are still a good number of issues to be resolved and improvements to be made. The following is a list of issues, more or less in random order:
  • [ADMIN] provide an interface to update post contents
  • [ADMIN] implement deleting of content items. This is much harder than it sounds, since it involves a cascading delete of all related content items, such as comments
  • Avoid setting a session cookie: practically no page on datafaber.com needs to set a session cookie, if it's there is perhaps because of a default setting in Tomcat. Problem is, I'm using SiteMesh from OpenSymphony, and I'm not quite sure about where the <@% page session="false" %> directive goes: in the decorator or in the pages? And if you build one page from several subpages? Comments appreciated.
  • Register this blog on java.blogs
  • Make datafaber.net and datafaber.org aliases for datafaber.com
  • Write a proper personal page...
  • Deploy the italian section of this blog. Despite my previous intentions, perhaps it's best to keep posts in english apart from the posts in italian: they might have very different tones and very different readerships.
  • Implement a site-wide search feature, by looking at Lucene
  • Implement the song of the day and current obsessions features. Also, implement the glossary feature, so I can give a symbolic name to all my links and not remember all the hrefs
  • Add in the bottom of all pages the current software version
  • Modify the RSS feed to use valid RFC-822-style dates
  • Modify the date formatter to use ISO-8601-style dates in all blog entries. Is it safe to get a SimpleDateFormat("...") and share it between threads? Comments are appreciated on this one, too.
  • Post more often...
    As soon as UPS and Telecom Italia get cooperative I'll have a fast workstation and a decent, permanent Internet connection... Expect frequent updates starting about a week from now.

I should also fix the bug of the calendar not working in the single post view...
