Hello World! My GSOC Proposal draft

[jportela]

Hi everyone,

I'll be applying this year for GSOC, and I chose Dreamwidth to spend the summer doing great things :)

Here's my draft: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhh82zgj_37g9s8c8ff

I used a Google Doc because I think a lot will be changed until the April 9 deadline

I heavily used the application template you provided, so I think I will add a description about my technical background and about what I intend to do with the project (milestones, deliverables, all of these are estimates of course).

Also, I may do a About Me post tomorrow on my journal, so you are welcome to follow it ;)

Any feedback of any form would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Joao Portela

GSoC External Integration -- Wordpress/Typepad -- Need Info

[roshansingh]

Hi all,
I am planning to apply for this project. I have used wordpress and blogger (gdata) api to create a desktop blogging client GScribble (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscribble), so I have the knowledge to make a cross posting facility. As right now, I dont know perl, I wanted to know if I can implement this in Python, if not I can learn perl as well :-).

So I can implement external integration with Blogger and Wordpress easily. I will have to learn Typepad api.

Does dreamwidth have import/export functionalities for the above blogging services. If not this could be useful, for people to join dreamwidth/migrate to other services.
