Hello! although I've only posted about twice a year for the past year and a half or so, hopefully that will change soon... xml-weblog 1.1 is now complete, and although it lacks the originally promised features, (user story submission, sorry Loyal Citizen) it does support a RSS 2.0 feed, as well as editing using NetNewsWire (and other similar tools) using the Blogger/MetaWeblog APIs (as previously announced).
The xml-weblog 1.1 package is available for download, and full details on the new release are available in this article at xml-weblog.org.
Now that 1.1 is complete, hopefully my theory will prove correct, and I will actually start posting to tm.net on a regular basis again. We shall see...
