+Project of the mini-blog serivice (tornado-based).
+
+1. All the blog entries and tapes are stored as plain html files and
+served via StaticFileHandler (or even frontend httpd such as nginx).
+
+2. Comments from any OpenID authenticatied user is allowed (unless this
+user or corresponding openid-provider is banned).
+
+Comments are stored within POST page.
+
+3. Post and editing is allowed for openid-authenticated blog owner. OpenID provider
+with support for email and avatar should be incorporated.
+
+4. There can be more than one blog on the same physical instance of
+application. Blogs can be distinguihed by URI prefix and hostname.
+All blogs on the same physical instance share cache of authenticated
+users, including their avatars.
+
+5. There should be support for rotatable tape of recent posts.
+
+6. Post could have multiple tags. Each tag has a page with list of
+recent (rotatable) posts with same tags. When post is edited and list of
+tags is changed, post is removed from the tapes which are no longer
+relevant
+
+7. There can be cuts in the post. Cut is implemented as block with
+display:none and javascript to hide/unhide.
+
+8. Comment submit form is included into post (and possbile tape) pages
+and open clicking "Reply" link using javascript.
+
+9. All templates (for post, comment etc) are pure html files where
+elements to be edited upon posting are marked with special classes.
+
+10. There should be an installer which genrates secret for tornado
+securie cookie and provides default configuration for apache and nginx
+frontends.
+
+11. There should be no client-server database. If there is
+persistent state which
+cannot be represented as publically available files (hmtl. images) on
+the filesystem (such as cached user session) they should be iplemented
+as persistent dictionary using shelve standard module.
+
+12. There should be commenter preferences URL, which would allow user to
+specify e-mail address and avatar.
