Matthias Kunkel, 26 Jun 2013: Page name modified.

Portfolio Meeting 26 June 2013: We currently postpone the feature until someone puts it on the agenda again.

Marko Glaubitz, 14.01.2015: I think this is a very important feature, which belongs to the entire complex of streamlining / rethinking the the copy and cloning functions that ILIAS comprises. However, right now Blogs are copied as empty shells, which, imho, is not satifying since it does not serve a clear puropse and/or does not save any time for the users. Copying a blog or creating a new one is right now basically the same thing.
I suggest that blog are treated just like wikis when they are copied (pages and contents are "cloned") as a minimal change. I think that this is another case that goes along the lines of Streamlining: Copy Forum

JF 30 Mar 2015: We discussed the possibility of copying blogs with its content today. The case is similar to copying wikis and forums. We think in all of these cases copying with and without content are both feasible options. Therefore an extension of the general copy process would be required that allows the repository modules to include options on the copy screen. We will collect the general requirements on a new page Extend Copy Options. We schedule this feature for 5.1, but a precondition would be the implementation of Extend Copy Options.

Zenzen, Enrico [ezenzen], 24 AUG 2022: This request no longer fulfills the requirements of the Feature Wiki. In consultation with the maintainer I change the status of the feature request to "Redundant / outdated". If the request is still relevant, please update template and mockups.
