Leonardo

Leonardo is looking interesting as a combined blog/wiki.

So far it looks clean and simple with neat integration of features. Once the next round of things are done (categories, comments, trackbacks etc) then it will be an interesting option.

I would love to see it support the wiki text used by Wikipedia which I have found more flexible and powerful than any other I have used (and obviously used by a lot of people). My main use has been on the compass wiki, if Leonardo can support that nice markup but give more flexibility over the layout (to appear less like a wiki) then this could be the CMS I have been looking for many churches.

WSGI support would also be really good (I see it is on the trac list of tasks). Maybe this would be a good candidate to use PythonPaste (ex wsgikit).

Support exists for multiple wiki text formats, even within a single site, so it should be straightforward to implement the Wikipedia syntax - especially if a Python library already exists.

I am open to making any improvements that will enable the layout flexibility you'd like.

As you mention, WSGI compatibility is on the way.

James,

Is http://www.merten-home.de/FreeSoftware/media4moin/ any use? It is GPL and converts mediawiki to moinmoin.

Does Leonardo only to conversion to html at page presentation time?

I need to do some experimenting before commenting on what I would like in Leonardo.
