Subject: Sample application: a blog engine

Hi all,

I worked a bit on a sample application for Gaelyk, that would be a real app
rather than just a mere small sample.

It's a *blog application* engine, called *bloogaey*, and whose sources you
can find on *GitHub*:
https://github.com/glaforge/bloogaey

I've started migrating my own blog articles to a deployment of bloogaey
here:
http://glaforge.appspot.com/

You can learn a bit about the various libraries used for that application
here:
http://glaforge.appspot.com/page/about-this-site

It's a mono-user application, in the sense that it's the administrator of
the GAE app that is the only one allowed to post to this blog.
There's a wysiwyg editor for the blog post.
It's using the blobstore to store pictures.
Your articles and posts can be put in multiple categories.
There's a page for harvesting my twitter tweets, google reader shared
articles, and my saved bookmarks on delicious.
The search is powered by Google Custom Search Engine, and the commenting
system is from IntenseDebate.T
The engine is using the Gaelyk caching (through the URL routing system) to
cache content for faster serving.
You can subscribed to the atom feed for the whole site or for categories
you're interested in.

There are several improvements I could think of (like support for
pingbacks/trackbacks, an XMLRPC interface for blogging clients, support for
posting by email like on posterous and such, etc.), it's also not tested
(but manually), but at least, that's a start, and you can already have some
fun with this application.

I'll soon migrate my old php blog to this app.

I'm happy to talk with you of further improvements, and even accept pull
requests, since it's hosted on GitHub :-)
