Random django things on my mind ...

Web development is still going well. One little thing Noah fixed this week:

-- The check in/check out problem. We think we know where this problem was coming up. When you use the "print" features in django, stories were checking in. He's changed that so that stories stay checked out even when on the print screens. That should make things better.

Also, some other random thoughts I wanted to get down somewhere ...

-- Tom points out that we're not getting our hottest topic of all, MU football, into our Hot Topics menu. He's right. We have to figure out a way to do better with that.

-- That thought got me thinking: Maybe we need a whole promotions team to not only keep our Hot Topics regularly switched up, but to also otherwise promote the good journalism that we do here.

-- I hope to get Radio Adelante saved as a podcast and incorporated into the Missourian's Web site this semester. More to come on that.

-- We're seriously looking at dumping Falcon all together and going to PlanSystem. As long as the night news editors are OK with PlanSystem, I'm OK with it too. While I don't think it's the ideal system for us, I do think it's better than Falcon (of course, what isn't better than Falcon?). And while we'd still trade one set of problems for another, I think we have the potential for fewer problems on PlaySystem.
