[typo] Rethinking Content Whiteboards

[Scott Laird]

Sounds good.

After watching my logs yesterday, I'm seriously considering ditching a
lot of the sweeper implementation and switching to something like
this:

  if Article, Page, or Settings changed -> sweep everything
  elsif Comment or Trackback -> sweep page, add +60 minute trigger to
sweep everything if one doesn't already exist.

We should probably also add a 'if comment is published' in there
somewhere, because even spam comments are nuking my cache.
