There are two options I see right now. One is to fix Roller to support nested categories (it doesn't, and its on the maintainers' ToDo list, but I can't really wait). The second is to actually implement a new BlojsomFetcher in Blojsom that uses MySQL, and fix their category-based display and RSS feeds to show the hierarchy (in phposxom, if i were to click on a parent category, its subcategory items also show up, but that's not how it works in Blojsom).
I don't want out-of-the-box blojsom, because I can't stand filesystem based blogs (the blossom clones) because I need the date/order of entries to stay consistent even if I edit them. Actually I may have to rule blojsom out because I also need comment support, which I can't recall if it exists or not (I doubt it).
Has anybody done anything like either of these (or knows of an alternative)?
Oh, and not SnipSnap -- that simply refuses to run on my box for some reason and I need something somewhat out-of-the-box functional.
