Re: multi weblog
Not exactly.
You can create multiple categories in your weblog and then make each category appear as seperate blog with its own design. You can do that with two plugins, the "Extended Templates/Options for Categories" and the "Sidebar hider" plugin.
Multi-Weblog maintaining like MoveableType offers is currently not possible with Serendipity, I'm sorry.

Do you plan multi-weblog maintanance in future? If yes, is it a far o near future?
What do you think should be done to support multi-weblog maintanance ?

Re: multi weblog
For that we advise to use the shared installation feature. I have never seen any private blog that would require more than 3-4 sub-blogs. Maintaining those via the "Categories to Sub-Blogs" feature is not very hard.Serendipity is great but if there are thousands of blogs it couldn't be used...
Thousands of blogs, like supersized.org or serendipity offers/offered is doable with separate databases but a central file structure; in terms of security this is also much safer.
A "true multi-blog" feature with one single database will not be developed at least by the current core developers any time soon. Don't hold your breath - instead seriously think about the means and methods we offer currently.
Nearly every table (serendipity_config, serendipity_entries, serendipity_comments, serendipity_authors, ...) will need to get a "blogid" column, and each SQL query with that code will need to be adapted.What do you think should be done to support multi-weblog maintanance ?

Yeah, it would be one database, but with X * 15 tables for each installation, instead of 15 tables for all installations.
