[dokuwiki] DokuWiki blog addon (was: [Flyspray] Website 'news' area)

Hi!

Andi, can DocuWiki provide anything similar to a front-page 'news' or 'blog' section if we used DocuWiki for the whole site (not just the docs)?

No. Not really. I thought about that myself. If I find the time I want to switch my normal homepage (www.splitbrain.org) to DokuWiki, using it as a simple CMS, but I would need some blogging feature, too.

I think it shouldn't be too hard to write something that allows you to easily add pages to a dedicated news namespace, and have the newest 5 ones displayed on the startpage.

I'm currently working on a plugin system which might be of help to do so.

More complicated would be adding typical blog features like trackbacks and
rpcpings...
