Hi Daniel,

"Please post your integration thoughts on the Campcaster development list or
forum. I believe this integration could also help Campsite, by making it
unique among the many CMS products available."

This is one target for the future Plastelina application. Currently you can
customize campsite for this kind of usage by just creating specific article
types and templates. I don't know if further work should be done in this
direction as it duplicates functionality and it takes a lot of work to do it
in Campsite because of old code.
