Offline Plone

[Duncan Booth]

Jon Stahl has posted an interesting blog entry about Windows Live Writer, 
which raises the question whether it could form the basis of the 'offline 
Plone' that gets discussed from time-to-time.

The question is, has anyone attempted to implement any common blogging api 
as a Plone product? For example Windows Live Writer (and other offline 
tools) support an XML-RPC based protocol known as MetaWeblog API which 
allows for creating/editing posts, fetching existing posts, and also 
uploading files or media objects. That should be fairly easy to implement 
in Plone and then configuring a Plone site to support live writer just 
requires adding a few xml files.
