So I read a lot of posts decrying Drupal's lack of any true multiblogging function. The blog module lets individual users keep a blog, but it doesn't profile for discrete, standalone blogs.
I've looked into taxonomy-based approaches and they don't get there either.
But Organic Groups is more or less exactly what we need, we just need it to do what it's doing now a little bit differently/
What if there was an "Organic Blogs" module that was basically a reworking of Organic Groups?
-Instead of group manager, you'd have the blog editor.
-Instead of joining the group, you'd subscribe to it.
-Subscribers could then be promoted to blog contributors by the blog editor.
As you can see, it wouldn't take a whole lot of original work to get this going, just renaming functions in OG. You might be able to get rid of some functions along the way, too.
Why wait for someone to build the ultimate multiblogging module, when it's already right in front of us? It just needs to be reworked so it can run on the same drupal install as OG.
Note: I have no idea if there are rules against building a project on the back of another one like this. It just seems like it'd be a quick and effective way to get this function into Drupal.
Thoughts?

Why not just localize OG? --
Why not just localize OG? -- translate the strings to change the semantics, add some theming, and you'd be just about done.

Would I be able to run that
Would I be able to run that and OG at the same time? I'd like to be able to do blogs AND groups. I think if I just changed the strings and installed it it would conflict with any existing instances of OG. Right?
