This all comes down to one point: we need an outliner to rule them all: forums, book module, blogs... they're all just containers for (CCK) node types. Sorry I haven't evaluated the Category module outliner... it might really be in the direction I'm thinking of. --Robert Jeff Eaton wrote:
I don't think demoting polls to a second class data type as an answer; a poll should be a node, but we need our blogs and forums to be able to accept more content types than just 'blog' or 'forum'.
I'm with Earl on this one. Blogs are not a *content type* even though we treat them that way in blog.module. They're a container, and (in most cases) a presentation style. "Blogs" should be able to accept weblink nodes, images, polls, journal entries, and so on.
