As you said, this would turn plog into yet another gallery script with 
blogging capabilities. I don't see this as a very important feature 
anyway...

Easy. This can be easily done in 1.1 :) I can take care of it if 
needed...

> 3. Tree structure article category (multi-layer article categary)

The problem with this is that it complicates categories a bit. Imagine 
the following category structure:

A
|---	B
	|---	C

(please forgive my ASCII art :))

If an article is assigned to category 'C', is it also automatically 
assigned to 'A' anb 'B' because they have a parent relationship?

How about permalinks? If post 'whatever' belongs to category 'C', 
should the permalink be like

http://host.com/blog/my_blog/post/A/B/C/whatever

or

http://host.com/blog/my_blog/post/C/whatever

?

Whenever people ask things like this, it feels like they haven't been 
thinking about all the implications and side effects... :P

> 4. Tag Support for every object (article, link, resource )

Not in 1.1, it would take a long time to add support for tags (even 
though I like it!) so I am really not willing to do it for 1.1. Perhaps 
1.2  or 2.0?

> 5. different User level

There we go again with people trying to take us the CMS route. pLog is 
*not* a CMS, we do just blogging and we try to keep it very simple. If 
people need advanced features such as user groups, different 
customizable user levels, perhaps what they need is not a blogging tool 
but a fully-featured CMS.
