Development, Purpose and Direction

So I have been struggling with where to take CataBlog and what new features to add. I am leaning towards the idea that CataBlog should concentrate on being a compliment to WordPress and its various plugins. Instead of making CataBlog an all in one inclusive tool, I will concentrate on making it the best catalog tool possible. This would mean well developed multiple item uploads, csv import feature and more bulk and automated actions. This would also mean I would steer away from supporting ideas such as making individual catalog items into public posts, search functions or other site wide features. The reason why is it seems to me that one should use what is already out there. I understand that the ideas can be cool in certain situations, but they aren't practical and could leave CataBlog bloated with tons of features to support. You can always get in contact with me about developing a theme with custom post types or other specific needs. So with that being said, I have wasted enough time on developing the Public feature, and after pretty much finishing it, I have pulled it from the plugin's code. Well here is too moving forward.
