@alanmoo we have sign off from Anil to build this under blog

Let's have a design/dev kickoff for this when you're back!

[alanmoo]

How does the date get set? Is it automatically the publish date? (I'm not sure if that gets updated when we, say, fix a typo or something)

[kristinashu]

Date should be the publish date (editing the post should not update the date).

[mmmavis]

Not sure how much we care about this -

To avoid seeing posts being published 'in the future', when displaying published date do we wanna include timezone info as well?

[mmmavis]

Curious about what the user flow on Wagtail is to create a blog post? Do we plan to add anything to the sidebar?

[alanmoo]

Nope, they’re just a page with a new template under a parent “blog” index page (which can be a ghost namespace to start).

As for time zones: I wouldn’t worry about it- we’re so North American centric chances are the day has already started everywhere by the time a post goes live.

@alanmoo how should we implement the "author" field? Is it a simple text field or person/user object field? If it's an object field should it to tie to the user who published the page?

[alanmoo]

I don’t have strong opinions about that other than that whatever we do shouldn’t be too restrictive, because you know at some point a post will go up where Mark is the author but he didn’t actually log in and post it. If that means a text field is the best option for now without a ton of overhead, let’s do that, recognizing it may mean some manual grooming later on. But if there’s another way to do it without going down a rabbit hole, I’m all ears.

k, let's go with text field for now then to avoid blocker.
