I was approached tonight by Henry Stern with respect to registering my interest in a project to help curb blog Spam. Apparently it has been noted that I wrote a SpamAssassin plugin for Movable Type. Wonders never cease.
I think a project would be good, as for what would come out of it that remains to be seen. There are a good few blogging tools out there and I doubt getting them all pulling together would be feasible. Although this is not really a necessary requirement to start one.
