GAIA Host Collective
That might be something to consider down the road, but we don't have the ability to do it now. I'm not sure we'd want to, either. Why reinvent the wheel? There are many very good, and free, blogging sites out there. Why do we have to do the hosting ourselves?
We already have a blogroll. Having a "recommended" list of on the side bar would be cool, but I don't see any reason we should do the hosting.
I thought it was mostly an issue of which software package to migrate too.
There are several (I believe) such packages that support diary systems.
But maybe this is thinking about the issue backwards.
What systems are in consideration for TOD 3.0?
Perhaps it would be easier to comment on them?
But there's more to consider than just the software. There's bandwidth, and hosting space. Someone is going to have to buy the computers to store all the blogs (if we go that route), and pay for the bandwidth.
And to tell you the truth, I really don't like the way dKos works. It's impossible these days.
Doesn't Scoop explicitly support diaries as one of its main features?
But I think you're overestimating things on how TOD w/ diaries would compare to TOD. Dkos is the way it is because it's the center of the liberal blogosphere - diaries are its trademark, and everyone with a wellknown blog in that broad circle is obliged to have one. It doesn't translate to our userbase.
dKos does not allow you to upload images, for example. No doubt for bandwidth reasons. Blogger does. Heck, dKos now blocks even linking to images, except from a short list of image hosting services.
