Technical outline

There is a blogging application in extra/webapps/blog/. It is far from complete, and new features must be added before it is generally usable. Adding comments is one of the main features it needs, but any of the features from other blogging engines can be considered. Additionally, it needs a better look and perhaps optimization to ensure that it is fast enough.

Benefit to the community
