Bitakora, the product
Bitakora is a Zope product for managing multiblog communities.
It is internationalised. Localizer is the 18n and l10n framework chosen, so it can handle blogs in different languages. English, Spanish and Basque versions go with the default package.
The product has two instances. A BitakoraCommunity instance creates a multiblog website, with a frontpage in which the blogs below ere aggregated, and a register and login dialog box, so anyone can join a create a blog in three easy and straighforward steps.
Coders with Zope expertise will easily tweak that feature, so the community may become not a free-for-all blogging site, but any sort of closed or controlled blog community.
Each individual blog in a community, created through the Zope Management Interface, or through the open BitakoraCommunity registration process, is a Bitakora instance.
A Bitakora blog comes ready with the following features:
- Usable tab based dashboard with clear options.
- Tagging: no categories, but each post might be tagged with tags or keywords.
- Wysiwyg editor (Epoz based).
- Editable CSS skin, with four default stylesheets and the possibility to ellaborate upon them.
- Various sidebar editing options.

- Chronological and tag based archives (with a tag cloud).
- Editable dates: you can add old texts with their past dates, or program the publication of a given post at the future date and hour of your choice.
