Hi Greg! I sure want to support blogging. My concern is the blogger tie-in. A simple suggestion - make the "upstream" blogging action pluggable. What I'd suggest - in very brief terms - is - blog on the XS (WP is ok, as would be Drupal, but do consider Moodle's blog facility, or the new 'oubog' moodle module) - the blog on the XS can have an option "publish to the world"... - which uses a simple pluggable mechanism to publish out... the basic pluggable module needs to have 1 function/method: post blog entry :-) (which returns the url of the blog entry on success?). In practice you might need a few more, for example a "register account" method if it can be automated... With that generic machinery in place, if provide a blogger.com plugin, that's great. Ideally I'd like to see other plugins that can be pointed to a standalone WP install on the internet, so a local education authority could run it. Just don't make it _tied_ to blogger.com -- which is a commercial, add supported service. There are good blog APIs so you don't actually need to - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaWeblog cheers, martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
