Blogging Roller

She doesn't know it yet, but Andi's getting a Mac mini. The kids can have the old Windows box, but we'll have to disconnect it from the net so they can use it safely ;-)

Thanks to two very generous contributors, we now have translations of the Roller user guide, installation guide, and FAQ. Take a look:

• Japanese: Noniko translated the User Guide, Installation Guide, and the wiki front page.
• Chinese: Nan Chang translated the  User Guide,  Installation Guide, and FAQ.

Thanks Noniko and Nan Chang. I'm sure your efforts will be appreciated by many new Roller users.

By the way, the Installation Guide is in sync with Roller 1.0, but I still need to update the User Guide to document the new Roller 1.0 features.

I just uploaded Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds In Action Chapter 7: Publishing With XML-RPC based APIs to Manning for review. After introducing the  reader to XML-RPC, the Blogger API, and the MetaWeblog API the chapter the leads the reader through the development of a complete blog client library using C# and Cook Computing XML-RPC.Net (there is also a Java and Apache XML-RPC based version of the library which will be available on the book's website). The blog client library interfaces look kinda the ones I proposed on the Roller wiki, but they've evolved a bit and I imagine they'lll evolve a bit more as I complete the Atom implementation.
