BloggingAPI is a re-write of CMFWeblog
======================================

What is CMFWeblog / BloggingAPI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CMFWeblog is designed to allow users more freedom to create content in
a Zope CMF instance.  It does this by using tools that support popular
weblog APIs and providing a skin to browse added content with a date
based navigation system. Currently supports the following APIs:
Blogger, MetaWeblog and MovableType (the later two not completely, but
very close). For more info on Installing and using the CMFWeblog tool
please see the INSTALL.txt and USAGE.txt files in the docs directory.

Here is a partial list of apps support these APIs:

- `w.bloggar`_ (windows)
- blogBuddy_  (windows)
- plog_ (palm)
- bloggenmoz_ (mac,win,linux/unix)
- iblog_ (mac)
- blogApp_ (mac)
- `Word Blogger`_
- `pyrite blogauthor`_ (any platform where python runs)
- zempt_ (win)

The later two support MovableType and MetaWeblog. Haven't checked the
others. I have a patch for pyrite that allows one to write in ReST and
then convert to HTML before posting.
