First of all, I heard back from Stepan and he gave me the okay to integrate GlobalListings into MultiBlog, so MultiBlog will be one step closer to being the one-stop shopping spot for all of your multible MT weblog needs.
True, working in Stepan's GlobalListings plugin probably makes MultiBlog exempt from the plugin contest, but I think adding in this type of functionality is more than worth it.
And I would also like a little feedback on another idea I just had for MultiBlog: Blog Access Control Lists. Basically, since MultiBlog is pretty much guaranteed to be run in installations with multible blogs, access control becomes a concern. For example, Author A maintains Blog A and Author B maintains Blog B in the same installation of MT, but normally Author A cannot access Blog B through the MT interface and vice versa. With the current setup of MultiBlog however, Author A can include content from Blog B in their templates for Blog A as well as Author B with Blog A. I imagine this is something I would want to prevent.
What do you folks think?
David, feel free to submit your plugin. If you win, you could always let me have the Adobe software :-P
That's brilliant news, you've got me drooling already :)
