Just some brief usage notes to help me get some the non-functional requirements for mblog straight. First, an mblog installation is expected to have few authors, usually one or two, but at most in the low tens. Each author probably posts no more than two or three times a day. Each post will get between zero, which is most likely, and, if we're going to be optimistic, ten comments. The great majority of access will be by readers.

I'm not going to use these numbers to set limits on how may authors there may be but to help choose architecture and implementation techniques that are optimized for there figures. For example a complex paging display suitable for supporting many authors will be overkill for mblog.
