Non-chronologic blog / Staged delivery book / Whatever...

I am considering having a less personal blog, parallel to saintcahier.livejournal, just to record some ideas, but the chronologic-oriented display of the majority of blogs is absolutely awkward for this purpose. The ideal format would be of a topics / contents organisation (with topics hierarchically grouped), and a *secondary* chronological access of the latest additions for readers to know what changed since their latest visit. And I want comment management, too, of course, because I am still on the illusory phase that hordes of people will come to read my writtings.

 Do you know any prêt-à-porter solution for that ?

As always, my time for the

As always, my time for the real career stuff (becoming a media pundit) is being eating away by my secondary hobbies (being a scientist and securing a faculty position).

I was in the illusion that after passing the thesis (which happened last week, by the way) I would experience the bliss of a few weeks of farnient, but now I have two journal articles to write and a job to find.

 Nevertheless I'm putting gaygeekstalk on my list of ideas to develop as soon as free time is available...

Aah, SaintCahier .. You're an ideas man!!

I have no time to co-ordinate such efforts myself ..

However .. If there were enough interest I'd be more than happy to give the required admin rights to someone else to set one up here on G-G.  Be it blog.gay-geeks.net or .. really .. anything.  I'd be up for it.  Wouldn't have to be a Drupal install either.  It'd be included in the site-wide backup of course.

We could allow anonymous comments too, perhaps.

Or on another domain .. as long as someone goes out and does the leg work Wink

I know of a collaborative blog in Portuguese (papodehomem.com.br) which is coordinated by a single editor, but has several writers. It is mostly straight-male contents (very funny to watch!) and they have a constant flow of new posts.

Perhaps we should start a gaygeektalk in the same spirit? :-{D

hmm..

I can't wait to see this in action!

I've also been wondering (basically just today!) if there are any collaborative blogs out there?

I tried a blog once, but I don't have quite enough creative talent to turn my inane goings-on into something worth reading.  Plenty of others have that ability, just not me!

But occasionally (and right now is one of those times) I have an experience I'd really like to write about and share with others - but I'm stuffed if I'm going to keep a blog that's updated once every month or two!

Aren't you a darling?

Don't worry... even if my dearest dream come true (become a media pundit) I'll continue to post here.

I think that some forum-management software could do the work, yes. But it's not exactly a forum: the idea is that I'll postand organise  the content, and all the zillions of fans I am going to have will be able to comment and discuss.

Some sort of virtual-Lacan-delivering-original-though-thing...

hmm..

Would Drupal do the trick, do you think? That's what G-G is constructed from, and there's plenty of built-in flexibility and add-on modules for you to pick from.

As for the concept .. I love it!
