Re: metaweblog api suggestion

[charmian]

My suggestion about posting via the MetaWeblog API has gone live. If you also think it would be good if DW were to implement it, vote yes.

So far the suggestion hasn't provoked much discussion, because it's rather technical, although there have been some 'no' votes, although I'm not sure why people are against it (not worth the effort, maybe, in their opinions? Flaws in the metaweblog API?)

I think in general, it will benefit Dreamwidth to be more interoperable, especially involving interoperability with sites that are dissimilar in format and provide functions that DW can't and probably won't replicate, such as Delicious.

I've seen some criticisms of MW, but it does seem to be a fairly widely supported format. I know someone else who wishes that DW supported MW so that she could use Posterous to crosspost to DW.

Thanks for the further info!
