- Maintaining of original URLs of all archival posts. Cool URIs don't change, etc.
- Efficiency. The blog itself will probably be handled by a static site generator (I'm exploring options at the moment). I don't see the reason to burn so much coal a Wordpress invocation does for what amounts to a bunch of static page with text and images.
- Emacs-based management, via Org Mode in particular. I hope to reach the ability to write posts purely in Org Mode, and have them published straight from Emacs, automagically updating stuff like sitemaps and RSS feeds.
- A decent support for storing essays and wiki-like-articles (that require versioning and easy viewing of change history as well as linking to old versions).
