I've been using serendipity for about a year, and I try to keep up with blog.s9y.org so I've read about Spartacus, however I still don't know exactly what it is.
Actually I've just noticed the similarity between the plugins listings at http://spartacus.s9y.org/ and those on the "Install a new xxxx plugin" pages in the admin interface of my blog.... does that mean this _is_ spartacus? If so I have to say I found this really confusing. Although the install docs and the s9y faq mention spartacus dir permissions, etc; the name "spartacus" does not appear anywhere in the serendipity interface, that I could see.
Also, where it says "Spartacus is a Plugin for the Weblog Engine Serendipity.
Once installed, you can fetch and manage plugins via Serendipity. No need to use FTP or manual downloading - just click & fetch!" on the spartacus.s9y.org site, it makes it seem as though the user needs to first install the Spartacus plugin for s9y. At least that's what I though it sounded like-- "Spartacus is.... Once installed, you can fetch..."
I think it would be helpful to better clarify in the FAQ and/or on the spartacus.s9y.org site what spartacus is and where it is found. (it says that it is a plugin... I looked at my list of installed plugins in s9y and didn't see "spartacus", so I thought I didn't have it). Maybe including the word "spartacus" on the "install new plugin" page in the s9y admin interface would be helpful?
Cheers!
