Tinkerer as a multi-user blog site

[John Gill]

Hi,

Just discovered tinkerer -- very interesting.

A nice bit of serendipity as I was looking at storing blog posts as rst in github.

The company I work at has some truly dreadful tools for collaboration.  I am pretty confident that anything I put in these tools will never escape to any new system, so the idea of storing blog posts in git, ready to load into any new system is appealing.

Tinkerer looks perfect for this, just wondering if it is easy to adapt to turn into a multi-user blogging tool?

At the end of each blog post there are some "metadatas" and one of the is
"author". This solves your problem?

Thanks.

I think it does.   I am in the process of setting this up for myself and realised that the blog is just a folder in a git repository, so can have a folder for each blogger and the thing is magically multi-user.

If I find I need to add additional goodness for it all to work a bit smoother I will share with the project.

Thanks for the feedback.

John

Thanks for trying out Tinkerer! 

As Reniere mentioned, the author directive allows you to have a collaborative blog. 

Regarding your setup, Tinkerer has a specific folder structure for posts (year/month/day/post_file), so I'm not sure you can get it working with separate folders for each author. That being said, if I were you I would use the git model of authors cloning the repo and pulling their posts. Rebuild on merge to publish. 

Let us know how it works out!

Thank you,

Vlad
