BlogML is now Open Source
Categories
I've moved the BlogML project from the old project site to a brand new project site which is hosted at CodePlex. This is a significant move as it allows me to host the schema and source code there so that other developers can join the project and add features. I've redirected the BlogML.com domain to the new project site so you can get there via the following link:
http://BlogML.com
One of the important things to understand about the new project is the repository layout that is shown in the following image:
As you can see, this repository layout has a Code folder that will contain a sub-folder for each language implementation of BlogML tooling. Currently there are only .NET implementations but hopefully, over time this will also contain Java, Ruby, Perl, and other implementations so that we can cover all blogging engines with pre-written helpers for creating BlogML. Of course, anybody could simply go to the Specification folder and grab the latest BlogML schema file and work directly against that - but strongly typed helper classes certainly make things easier.
One cool thing about the CodePlex site is that I can aggregate feeds from multiple locations on the News page for the project. I already have 2 feeds (my BlogML category feed from this site and the old BlogML feed from the CodeGallery site) being aggregated there but as more people start blogging about BlogML I'll be able to add their feeds as well and have a truly central feed for all BlogML news.
