is there a possibility to get an archive for offline-reading for my blog?

This has been on the back of my mind for some months, so I might as well say it. If I'm not mistaken, a "goodie" is something small and sweet and eatable. Now we should not underestimate the power of funky and furry english (seriously), but wouldn't it be worth considering to use a more prosaic term in this case, e.g "file uploads"?

now that Helma supports it in a nice and beautiful way, is somebody working on making Antville skinnable? (I'm not talking about editing skins, that's been possible for a long time, but switching between a number of prefab skins.)

i think we really could need some guidelines or at least a basic principle of how macros are designed. i think it makes the the macro coders' lifes easier.

e.g. i consider the topic_macro badly designed (or badly named in this case), because it returns the name of the topic as link. i would expect this functionality to be in topiclink_macro. and topic_macro should return the plain topic's name only.

another example are macros which render html tags. imho it is very important to give access to (almost) all of the html attribiutes via the macro. if that's too much hassle, please take in account at least "style", "class" and "id" to let the people control the element via cascading style sheets.

again, i think this will release a lot of pressure from the antville developers because users get the power to play their individual games without permanently crying for changes in antville source code.

if you want me to, i happily will browse through the macro code and try to develop some consistent practice how they generally should be implemented. whatcha say?

just a hint: sometimes when i have finished and saved a story, it gets duplicated in some mysterious manner, and the replica appears in the comments (also listet instantly in the recent modified box). strange.

i mentioned before, that i want to be able to exclude stories from the recent mods. here is my offer: i implement it, but you tell me the macro syntax. my suggestion is <% this.history show="20" stories="no" comments="yes" %> but it might as well be "true" and "false" or something. what are the guideline for optional macro parameters?

say, do you see only "about antville" links in this topic, too? or is it just me? i think it should be "download" or whatever and link to somewhere else but the disclaimer... weird. what happen? somebody set up us the bomb?
