Mark,

do you think you could come up with a rough roadmap up to plog 2.0 or  
so? A bit more precise than what you wrote above, maybe outlining the  
3-4 most important features that we think each one of these releases  
should have.

By the way, who said that we are going to rewrite the admin in plog  
1.1? :)

Then it's just a matter of creating a base "master" template and  
provide users with 4-5 totally different stylesheets to play with.

Actually I remember having this discussion like ages ago but nobody  
ever came up with anything so we forgot about it. Perhaps it's time  
to resurrect this idea? :) This could be good chance for all those  
not so technically inclined who feel like getting involved with the  
project a bit more...
