121135 - [RFE] [xml-rpc] Add support for the Blogger Api

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XML, enhancement)

Description

[andreww]

Weblogging is increasing in popularity and scope, and it would be great if 
- in addition to the core xml-rpc methods that we have that we could also 
add support for the "blogger api" - which is gaining adoption by many 
other web services.

Thanks to [e-mail] who told me about this rfe bug. The link below
point to the current code. Mostly functional, my focus now is to use <editor>
instead of <textbox>. Which is proving to a bit of an hassle, (it doesnt play
well with <browser> under same parent window. How does sidebar do it?

This looks like an XP RFE, not a Mac specific one

As an alternative approach, I've tried adding support for Blogger API to
Composer.  This still lacks things like multiple account management and
retrieving recent postings from a weblog for editing but works pretty very well
otherwise.

Have a look at  http://bloggenmoz.antville.org/ for details and code.

Just a suggestion, you might want to overlay the composer rather than making a 
new composerCommands.js because everytime they change composerCommands.js to fix 
bugs add new feature, you are going to undo it.

I think more into the problem, and I'm thinking of just using the current code 
and put out a documentation to let users implement the listeners. Unless someone 
can come up with an idea to let listener return variables for function. I tried 
asking Andrew, but he's too busy at the moment.

I seriously don't know how you can make this globally reusable. But at least
it's resuable on an application basis. Think I'm using the right license,
someone need to correct me if I'm off.

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement.  They have the same meaning.
