BloGTK 2.0 Development Journal
It’s only been a few days since the new BloGTK was announced, and already development is continuing at a more rapid pace than I would have expected. For a project being done in my limited free time, BloGTK is moving right along.
No, I don’t have an ETA for the first release. Other than “when it’s done,” of course.
So far, support for creating and editing new posts with Blogger, Movable Type, and WordPress is working. The UI is shaping up nicely—and that means that there will be some screenshots coming in the near future.
What’s left? The configuration system needs to be built, there’s a bunch of tools in the editor that need to be built, and then round after round of testing. BloGTK 1.0 was pretty buggy—I’m hoping that 2.0 will be better and more stable.
There will be more updates as development progresses. The website will also be getting an upgrade (with the old theme being given new life as a WordPress theme) sometime in the near future. Keep checking back here for more updates as BloGTK continues to push closer to release.

Nice to see this project is running again, could you please implement the xmlrpc operations first? I think the embedded editor is not a must in 1.0 since people always have workarounds to edit html, for example, komposor, bluefish, etc.

And when we can test blogtk 2.0?

I know very little about Python programming, but I’m very happy to help in any way that I can. Like you, I’ve got a variety of other commitments, but this might help me get my feet wet in Python, even if it’s only in testing. I can write documentation as well, time allowing.
Cheers,
Daniel

Sorry for the dumb question, but is there a download of the first version available?

Vadim: The old version is still on sourceforge - http://sourceforge.net/projects/blogtk/ Most distros also have it packaged as well.
