Heh, it's hard to reply to a .txt attachment :-)

The big thing I have not checked in yet is scoop plugins.  Through plugins,
I think that everything I envision could be done /w no forks of the central
code base.  The only caveat to that is we'd need to make the current comment
system and story system plugins.

There are some other things I've done, but not checked in:

- CSS Support
- Better themes (still needs work though)
- Better block editor (which is tightly coupled with themes)
- Menu system

Other things?

- People have been clamoring for scoop to work on non mysql databases.  

These are things on my mind for future work:

- A way to elegantly distribute stories across multiple, independent scoop
sites.  The story system would be like RDF on crack.  Users could post
stories to the "scoop network" from the scoop site of their choice, and
other scoop sites could vote (or the editors could just force in) those
stories into their own scoop site.  Very cool things could happen with this.


- A way to share user information across scoop sites.  User information
could be housed in a central repository and shared across scoop sites.

- Get rid of all the freaking vars and make some decisions on our own!
Scoop has more admin preferences then any piece of software I've worked on.
We should sit down and talk about what scoop should and should not do.  I
hate to say it, but having such an easy way to just pull new vars out of our
ass has really made the site control page a mess.  I do it all the time!
