Hi. CMFWeblog is in development in 'the collective'. http://sf.net/projects/collective you can grab it from CVS. It needs testing but it appears to work just fine and Ingeniweb is cleaning up the code. It currently supports 3 APIs: MovableType, MetaWeblog, and Blogger. Since the blog entries are archetypes they can be stored in a RDBMS, has transforms to/from MSWord or other formats, and cuts down on the typical boilerplate Zope/CMF code needed (just define the schema ;-). There is a 'ArcheRecipes' module in http://sf.net/projects/archetypes which has a few examples. Currently there is a contest underway looking for interesting ways of using Archetypes. REQUIREMENTS: - RPCAuth (Released) - Archetypes (1.0beta2+) - CMF/Plone I'm CCing Kamon and Sidnei who are working on the code. The biggest obstacles that I know of before making a release is: - Testing from others - Cleaning up the code - Archetypes 1.0 release (hopefully by end of the month, but its currently stable and no significant changes should land before 1.0) cheers, ~runyaga
Thanks for the pointer. We'll have a look. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/22/2003 at 9:52 AM alan runyan wrote:

Hi Bruce.. and if you want to play in the DIY-Zwiki world, the closest thing is currently http://zwiki.org/ZwikiBlog . Alan's reference sounds more useful for you right now though.
