I've been thinking about writing something like this for my own purposes, 
since there are lots of python and java libraries which will interact with 
blogging tools like movable type, which is what I use. But there is a 
_huge_ difference between a quick hack which does what I want with my 
files, and a nicely presented self-installing OOo component which works 
across platforms on anyone's machine to almost any blog. And I don't see 
how that can be surmounted. It's another example of the failure of the open 
source model to connect itchers with scratchers.
