Ideas for Aether

I've just installed aether-1.4 for this website and made a few enhancements that I might submit one day.

They include allowing a blog to select entries from another blog based on tags in the [entry] field. Thus my page has a News section which contains all items from my front page that mention 'raid' in the entry tag.

Also a blog can show just a list of pages (or the summaries there-of), so my page is now a blog of precisely three other pages. These are sorted by modify time.

Other changes I am contemplating include:

  • Once a password has been typed in, the "Edit" and "New" links at the bottom of the page become simple links that contain the password. This way I only need to type the password once. There would need to be an easy way to forget the password of course
    BULLET - Almost all my aether usage is using it as an error document, so the meaningless "me" doesn't appear. But when I edit a page it has to use a real URL, as you cannot post to an error document (I think). The "post" should pass in the preferred prefix so that when I come out of editing, I am back in the error-document space. (Does that make sense to anyone but me).
