Re: Extending the WeblogMetaAPI
Beginning with Diego's review I've started following the "blogging API's" more closely. I joined the WeblogMetaAPI mailing list where Rogers Cadenhead posted some (arguably) good points.

Re: It's a boy
Okay, BlogTree is fun. Amusingly, I now have a Child which is also a Sibling. Dave, have you spawned some sort of incestuous family?

Blog Portability
Of course, as soon as I opened my mouth I remembered Dave Winer's Formats for Blog Browsers. It has already been suggested that this would make a good format for porting blogs (it's really just RSS 2.0). So the next step would be to write an export/import utility for Roller & RSS2, then anyone could import there 'old' feed into their new Roller account.
The one part not readily portable is the user account: outside of username/password and maybe email, what could we standardize across blog servers?
Later: If we use RSSlibJ we could parse any RSS/RDF feeds - populating Roller with whatever info we can attain.

Re: Roller suggestions - Take II
Arjun has several suggestions, but the one about the permalink icon catches my attention. Even though his suggestion is for #showEntryPermalink($entry, $image) I'm guessing he means the *day* permalink - since currently entry permalinks don't use icons but rather just text ("#"). Still, this would be a useful feature for both
In Roller 0.9.7 and above we've moved to using real Velocimacros, so you'll be able to override the #show[Day|Entry]Permalink([$day|$entry]) macros with your own implementation. But having a standard macro for this could be useful as well.

The Undocumented Castor
Since I've never heard of one hosted elsewhere, I've started a wiki for Castor. I'm calling it The Undocumented Castor. For now I've only got it installed and the main page slightly altered. Anyone who would like to help out is welcome. Thanks.

For future reference
From Abort, Fail, Retry's blog, a link to MovableType's XML-RPC API. There are some very good things here.

Re: The Ultimate Weblogging System
Matthew has taken the time to respond to comments and everyone's comparison of their blogging system against his requirements. Thank you Matthew. But you still haven't explained the Creative Commons requirement. Is all you are looking for is the ability for the user to select a License and have the appropriate logo displayed?
