during the last six weeks setting-up a bunch of weblogs with antville, i wrote down some things i noticed and turned them into a wishlist of features, requests or changes i'd like to see in antville. just for the records i posted it here, ready for discussion (some things might have been discussed already, please don't bother about this).

i fully agree with most of the observations and i have to add two things. as mentioned many times before, i don't like the default discussion group layout and how the "link", "comment" and "read comment" links work.

the second issue has something to do with customization. i overwrite or block unwanted options or elements by hiding them in the form. it would be nice if all forms had appropriate defaults, so if you don't want, say, a topic menu for a new story, you simply remove it from the skin. (i'm not sure if it works now, but it didn't some months ago.)
