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.

http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2297 and http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2296 may be relevant - I don't think we have import or export for those services right now, and it's one of the things that we want to add.

Edit: I knew I'd read about it somewhere recently - the project is described on the wiki, and says that we want to add import and crossposting functionality for Wordpress.

thank you for the link, however as denise has suggested below, that i should concentrate on one thing, I will stick to cross posting,
