Blogging Roller

Lance has a new baby boy and a new open source project. He hasn't posted any baby pictures yet so I don't know what his new baby looks like, but his new open source project, Atom4J, just landed in the Roller CVS and I'm reviewing the code now.

Atom4J is a Java implementation of Atom, everybody's favorite new weblog syndication format and API. Instead of simply adding Atom support into Roller, Lance chose a more difficult and potentially more rewarding path. He released Atom4J as a standalone product that can be used to add Atom API support to any Java-based weblogging system. This is a Good Thing™. You can find out more and download Atom4J at the OSJava.org site.
