Description
Hello!
What do you think of having support in Zine for multiple channels?
It is a feature which I saw in some Django blogs (djangotechblog, Biblion) which enables one to have one blog and have multiple channels (e.g. technical vs. business) so that readers can just subscribe and follow specific feed not being bothered with theo ther(s).
It is different stuff than just tags & categories.
Here is the quote from the author of djangotechblog:
"Multi-blog capable. I want to blog on a variety of subjects, but because some of the things I post about (namely the geeky stuff) are only of interest to a select few, I risk turning away visitors who aren't interested in those techy posts. Categories and tags are one solution to this, but I prefer to have a number of blogs under an umbrella blog, each with its own posts, templates and tags.
In Techblog, there is also a concept of a channel which appears exactly like a blog from the front-end, but aggregates posts & tags from one or more blogs. In this site, the home-page at / is actually a channel consisting of /blog/tech/ and /blog/personal."

Sincerely,
Gour
