[wp-hackers] invitation develop a reBlog plugin for WordPress

[Michael Frumin]

The reBlog software is bipartite.  The first part is an online RSS
reader, where you either "publish" or "delete" each post.

The MT plugin allows you to import into MT (via an RSS feed from the
first part) the posts that you have selected to "publish". It also
implements certain functionality in MT to store and display the
necessary metadata for attribution of each republished post (i.e. this
post was originally written by AUTHOR at ORIGINAL BLOG, etc.).

Interested to help copy the functionality for wordpress?
