Bloghoven

A blogging system, aiming to compete with Wordpress in usability, but with the code quality of a Symfony2 app.

Bloghoven abstracts the model to a collection of interfaces so that a plethora of providers are available.

Current providers:

• Blosxom Dir provider (won't have native comments though)

Planned providers:

• Doctrine 2 ORM (default provider, fully featured)
• Wordpress (might make this read-only)
• Union provider (takes multiple providers and coalesce them into a single provider, with a designated write provider)

Ideas?

• SonataMediaBundle for... well, media.
• Storing content as Markdown, and handling WYSIWYG editing via HTML->Purifier->Markdown.

Uncracked chestnuts

• It would be neat to be able to select a post template depending on type (image, video, et.c.). How could this be best handled?
