Plugin Contest Entry 1: Tiny Orwell 1.0

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

As I've been mentioning almost all year, I've been quite busy with coding tasks and other life issues. More recently I focused a great deal of time on my contest entries for the Six Apart plugin developer's contest. I worked right up to the wire and got two entries in. Today I thought I'd make one of them avilable to the public here

Tiny Orwell is a simple TypeKey-like authentication system written in the spirit of the Trackback reference implementation and blosxom. This script provides an alternate to TypeKey for small groups using MT 3.0D or any other tool that supports the TypeKey API with a minimal amount of fuss. It is completely standalone and doesn't require MT at all. How crazy is that for a MT developer's contest?!?!

Users will want to note that currently Tiny Orwell does not have a profile mode nor does it support forced email disclosure the TypeKey API 1.1 (the required use of a token). These are all things I intend on addressing in a future release.

If you are looking for something more commercial grade contact me. I do Movable Type consulting and can help you out.

Many people have complained about Typekey, how it has lost them commenters. I am currently beta testing out the next MT-Blacklist, so my use of Typekey will be slightly different. None-the-less, I have Typekey as a method by which commenters... Read More
