Jabber and Roller This would be a much better post if I'd already developed the software, and this was an announcement. But I don't want to develop the software per se, I just want to use it. So I'm putting this idea out there in hopes that someone has already developed the software. My e-mail to the jabber-dev mailing list pretty much sums it all up.

Hello,

My name is Matt Raible and I am a contributor on the Roller Weblogger
project (http://rollerweblogger.org).  I'm looking to add support for 
Jabber as a blogging client.  Currently, we support the BloggerApi and 
MetaWeblogApi.  What I'd like to know is if there is a project already 
that converts Jabber's XML files to XML-RPC calls - or if I could simply 
use an XSL stylesheet to transform and resend to my blog.

Thanks,

Matt

I'd love to add a Jabber Powered logo to my About page. I did some work with Jabber last year, basically just installing and configuring it - both very simple. The project I was on was also planning on adding support for creating new jabber accounts on-the-fly when a new user was created in our database. It's all XML, so it's probably all pretty easy. Anyway, I bought a Programming Jabber book and it's been collecting dust ever since. The cool thing about Jabber is if we setup a Jabber server (i.e. jabber.freeroller.net), then I think it'd be possible to blog via your favorite IM client. Please leave your thoughts and comments - and any links to anything that might already exists. Posted in Java at May 03 2003, 12:47:11 PM MDT 4 Comments

I have already done this for blojom, and your welcome to the code. http://blojsim.sf.net It's got jabber, aim and MSN support. The jabber implementation uses the Jive SMACK library which is amazinly easy to use

Mark, Does this only support posting to blojsom, or do you use the Blogger API to do the posts? I'd love to port it so it'll work with a more popular client API, such as the Blogger API or MetaWeblog API.

I wrote a jabber transport that lets users post to Blogger-based servers using Jabber as the client which was (is) meant to be part of a much much larger project called Joggle (which live at http://www.sf.net/projects/joggle ), but real life has eaten my time up since I started. If you get the code from CVS, build, deploy and start a Jabber server, it should work pretty much immediately. With luck. :)

btw seeing I was planning on integrating some of the work that has already been done on Roller, it should be dead easy to convert.

The blojsim code is probably much more mature though.
