1.- If we said: "ImpressCMS can be used for blogging", we can not use WordPress for our own blogs.



This is a valid point... either the Wordpress needs to share with another site via OpenID (showing this functionality with Impress) or it should be a module.

OpenID will be implemented on MediaWiki as soon as I have arranged a schedule for installation/backups.

2.- We need "multiblogging" capabilities: "multieditors" is not enough. But really there are few multiblogging systems.



Agreed

3.- Smartsection can be used for it, but really it would need make a new module (smartsection based). It will be a very hard work.



I wonder... how much work is involved?

SmartSection can be cloned to SmartBlog - what templates need changing? What else is needed?

4.- Mywords: excelent module..but has not multiblogging; it does not run on ICMS until Eduardo will make a script for adapt his modules to ICMS. And it will need a library: rmcommon.



This is something we need to address with Eduardo. Having compatibility with his code will increase sales of any of his commercial products.

5.- XoopsLifeType: I like lifetype very much (more than WP MU) but it uses Frameworks (Do will we use this library when ICMS runs on its own way?) and we need think about updates (Lifetype 2.x is on the way http://lifetype.net/category/development).

I vote for Lifetype: seems the less difficult.



What code is involved to "module-ise" LifeType? Do we need Frameworks? Can we convert this to run ourselves rather than relying on another developer?
