Hi,
in weblogging, there is 3 things:
1. blog-editor (online forms, client-software,etc..) 2. blog-servers a) for editors (making XML-files from online forms, XML RPC-apis...) b) for clients (showing those XML-files with correct transformation) 3. blog-client (rss-feed readers, web browsers...)
Lenya and cocoblog are both missing possibility to use client-software, because they both require use of online form, so own editor-clients are not possible to use.
I was looking for creating blog without knowlegde of XHTML or XML, so I found this:
http://homepage.mac.com/soapdog/blogworks/ [free] http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ [shareware] http://www.blogplanet.net/ [j2me, free]
Those all work with Blogger XMLRPC API.
So, when I found clients, I naturally wanted a server where to post and first thing came to my mind was cocoon. Perhaps I should just make own server with apache's xmlrpc implementation, because cocoon itself currently can not do that. But cocoon can still be used to server blog files like lenya does. Problem is not displaying blog-entry.xml -files to a browser or as RSS-feed. The problem is to create those blog-entry.xml -files. Online form is not the best option. With those software I listed (URLs), I can make blog entries with phone and with my laptop and without knowledge of XHTML or XML or even write entries offline and only posting the entry when it's ready (and so saving lot's of money if using GSM-data as connection).
Of course I can do XML, but there are more people who have never heard of XML. I would like to offer blogging as a service to my friends who wants to use some of my domains I own or they have email-address in. They would be more than happy to have easy to use weblog-system.
I have to check that apache's xmlrpc-implementation.

You could write your own XMLRPC server that updates the content XML
files for a blogger system based on Cocoon. Ive heard of CocoBlog (http://cocoblog.sourceforge.net/) but never used it. You could theoretically write your own XMLRPC server using Apache's XMLRPC implementation (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/) that modifies the XML files that CocoBlog uses.
Not sure if this helps or not though. Why do you need XMLRPC for your blogging system?

Hi,
I was looking (and not finding) server implementation in cocoon for
blogger api. There are several client's already available which can do
blogger api XML-RPC so I wanted to have a server (naturally). Could not
find any, so I started to think. Cocoon is XML-beast and blogs are xml
and api is XML-RPC.
So I was thinking of creating server with cocoon, but head up with a
problem - there seems not to be xml-rpc support in cocoon, I'm I right?
Anyone looked into this xml-rpc or blogger thing?
