Motivation
Quills is very nice, but does too much work for itself and may fail to integrate with various add-ons as well as it could if a weblog was an adapted folder.
Assumptions
It should be possible to plug in any document or other content type that one likes, within a normal ATFolder, and adapt it to look and behave more like a weblog.
Proposal
Weblog, WeblogEntry, etc.. should be replaced with adapters, views, and other code to represent blog meme with regular content.
Implementation
adapters, views, and five - oh my!
Deliverables
A branch of Quills which has much less code, esp. for defining content types, and works not only with 'page' / ATDocument, but with drop-in replacement such as RichDocument and also with other content types, such as image, video, etc..
Risks
Possibly, Quills will feel too much like a normal folder and not represent the blogging meme well enough, or be worth the trouble of maintaining separate from say, the normal folder + summary view, but we can work against this.
Progress log
I believe tvon has done some amount of work in this direction.

Minus Flon
Actually, we shouldn't need Flon for this anymore, it's all part of Five / z3 portal_interface tool, at least in Zope 2.9 / Plone 2.5.
Sounds good
Is this a candidate for using Flon(?) to add marker interfaces to those standard plone folders that we wish to blogify?
