Supporting an api like Blogger or MetaWeblog API sounds like an good idea, as it can provide access from many blogging clients and ease the import and export from other blog platforms. These are Xml-Rpc APIs which rise the following issues: - XWiki needs an improvement of it's Xml-Rpc API as it is now supporting only a 'confluence1' method set handler; - AFAIK, our blog is a XWiki application that uses scripts and XWiki classes, with non existing model at java level. Having this in Xml-Rpc now, would mean recoding some of the blog functionality in java. Even if we won't have this APIs in the near future, it is definitely something we will look into.
