"Send a trackback" field

Hello,

as trac is still down and I want to keep tracks of those things, I
just post on the mailing list.

We had someone asking for a “send a trackback to” field in the post
interface, and it’s true typo lacks such a functionnality.

However, I don’t know if it’s that much a good idea to add such a
functionnality when more and more blogging platforms (like typepad)
disables trackbacks entries because of spam. Maybe there are some
much more important things to do, aren’t there ?

Cheers,
Frederic de Villamil

If your post is actually relevant to theirs in the first place (which is
the
point of trackbacks, IMO) then you should have a link to their site in
the
body somewhere.

I know that, I was just transmiting a feature demand because it is a
functionnality you can see on almost all blogging platform, and even
though I don’t think it’s mandatory to have one, people using Typo
may want to see it in their favourite blogging tool.
