Looks like something interesting coming out of Cowley Street: ‘For the next election the Liberal Democrats will produce a web-based interactive manifesto, which will use audio-visual communications as its centrepiece rather than the written word.’ Makes a lot of sense… I mean, did you ever read a printed manifesto? It’s party members only, but a quick glance at the source code shows it’s been done in WordPress 2.0.5, so you know what to expect.
I notice, though, that there’s a bit of a security hole in it? You aren’t meant to be able to get in unless you’re a party member, but it’s possible to see the latest postings and comments via the automatically-generated RSS feeds, which are currently unsecured. You can only see the first few words of each posting, but the comments are shown in full.

Well spotted. The main reason for it to be behind a login is so that only members can comment, but it is intended for members only to read so I’ve now disabled the feeds.
Mmm… yes, I didn’t think you’d want the debate to be too open too soon. Don’t want anyone nicking your ideas just yet, eh? 🙂
