The uses of indirect discussion

Sam Ruby and I have been having this oddly indirect discussion here on Radio, and it's made me think. At first glance, the indirectness seemed like a flaw in Radio. Were it a discussion system, like Manila and countless others, we'd be talking back and forth directly, and others would doubtless be chiming in too.

Here is the Radio version of Manila Express:

I can almost edit in Manila from Radio. The Radio port is open to the world (at the moment), and the Edit in Radio button from Manila can successfully send the message that pops up the editor in Radio. But, where's the Add Manila Site function in Radio, nowadays? Can't find where to put the Manila password, so the response on saving the item is: "Can't create new message, incorrect password." No big deal. I've never been a user of the Frontier outliner anyway. Just curious to see how the pieces fit together in the new configuration.

I just noticed another synch problem. Even after a successful Publish->Entire Site, the calendars on some not-recently updated pages -- like http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/databases/ -- didn't change. Evidently that template is not sent through the renderer when the site is regenerated?

AOL buying RedHat?

UserLand's Jake Savin says the navlinks problem is fixed. I've updated radio.root, this post will test the outcome.

Upstreaming is much happier now. (Though, it being Saturday morning may have something to do with it as well. Yesterday's problem may have been congestion?) But there's still a rendering problem that causes my navigator links to reference .txt rather than .html on the community server. And this is true even though I'm seemingly forcing the issue like so:

Hmm. I'm trying to fix a few things:

This discussion snippet asks and answers some more questions that I immediately had. In particular, it clarifies that only static HTML is delivered to the public host (which by default is Apache). That explains why there's no built-in search -- it's functionality that's not exportable as static HTML.

This observation about no self-hosting was something I noticed right away.

Now I want to recategorize the posting, having decided that the newly-created RSS category is more appropriate than the original Radio category.
