because many feed readers are ignoring the dublin core module, i changed the antville rss output of item descriptions to the core namespace. please let me know if this should cause trouble in your readers.

aber es heisst, "looking forward to seeING you", zumindest auf englisch was ich weiss

I have some error on my antville server (inside)

On my personal antville-Wishlist: Couldn't it be like you write a new story and decide what parts are displayed, i.e. the first ten words, after which there is this common "More"-Link to continue reading after having clicked it?

this is a followup to an older post. currently you have 5 groups of users - 1. non-members, 2. antville-members, i.e. members on some other antville-site, 3. weblog-members, i.e. members of this particular site, 4. contributers and 5. admins of one site.

there are differences between group 2 and group 3, but they are currently treated as being the same. antville members can comment and post on an open site without being weblog-member. on the other hand, the weblog-membership is required to receive the contributor or admin privilege.

here are my idea from the user (not programmer) perspective. the normal user won't notice a difference but the admin will.

• if a non-member signs up to one weblog he becomes an antville-member and, of course, a weblog-member of this particular site.

• if a antville-member visites a weblog he is not a member he can simply sign up to become a weblog-member
  a) with a 1-click-registration (file a patent on this :-) or b) by writing a comment or creating a story or image (if allowed).

• a weblog-member will appear on the membership page and the site-admin can assign privileges as before, but the sign-up link in the member-menu should vanish. maybe you give the admin a chance to block users.

• contributers and admins remain the same.

maybe we can have a chat on the phone, because i have some more ideas resulting from my experience with manila.

Hi, although I know for sure, a couple of people signed up to my log Ador.antville, there isn't at least one signed up user listed in the membership category? What's the prob?

to increase the cache size (we've been working with the default cache size of 1000 so far, and this was starting to noticeable slow down things).

The new cache size is 8000, which should be well beyond the sweet spot (the point where the cache actually starts making sense because objects from the cache are reused before being flushed out by other weblog's objects).

There were 550 active user sessions on antville.org at the time of the restart (many of which may have been robots or expired, of course). Sorry for the interruption.

You should see speed increasing as the cache is filling up.
