Rantelope now supports simple tagging in the atom feeds.
I added a field for a comma-separated list of tags, and then the Story object and atom template break them down into individual <atom:category> tags.
For example, you should be able to see this post under "rantelope" and "tagging" over at technorati next time it picks up the blog.
Rantelope is a blogging tool and content management system written way back in 2002. It was built in python, using an ancient version of the webAppWorkshop framework.
Rantelope was initially developed as a very simple blog over the course of a few days, and its development is described in a series of posts to the workshop mailing list.
Lately, I have been using rantelope for a number of blogs (including this one) and working to bring it up to speed with its more modern competitors like wordpress.
Currently rantelope supports a handful of features:
It's a long way from usable, however. My hope is that by using it myself on a daily basis I can smooth out the rough patches and make it usable for other people. Meanwhile, if you're curious, you can browse the source online. You'll also want to see the current workshop libraries.
The immediate next step for rantelope is to enable trackbacks and pingbacks by integrating Sam Ruby's implementations: autoping and pingback.
