KBlogger 1.0-alpha3

[The shizzle my nizzle Why do you need that?]

Name: KBlogger
Version: 1.0-alpha3
Type: KDE Web Application
Depend: KDE 4.x
License: GPL
Homepage: http://kblogger.pwsp.net
More Info:

Description:
 [b] KBlogger development has stalled lately and I
propose using Bilbo, unless somebody comes up and
works on KBlogger. I'll focus on KBlog (the
library in kdepimlibs), which is used by Bilbo as
well and maybe do a plasmoid which will be like
the KDE3 kblogger.[/b]

If you have problems, questions, etc. you can send
a message here or come to #kblogger on freenode.
Recent sources are in KDE svn at: svn co
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/pim/kblogger"

KBlogger pre1.0 is a kicker-applet for quick
blogging, like gnome-blog. Just push the blog
button and blog!
It supports the Meta-Weblog-Api, which is
supported by most blogs, and Blogger API 1.0.

KBlogger beginning from 1.0 is a full fledged blog
manager for KDE 4. It supports Blogspot,
Wordpress, Drupal and LiveJournal accounts. In
general all blog backends/servers that support
MovableType/MetaWeblog/Blogger1.0 or GData are
supported, which are quite a lot.

DEPENDENCIES: You need kdebase-dev-4.0.0 and
kdepimlibs-dev-4.0.0 (which depends on qt-4.3.3,
kdelibs-4.0.0, kdelibs-dev-4.0.0 and
kdepimlibs-dev-4.0.0).  

NOTE: Some help on cleaning and fixing the code
base would be really great! All features are
there, but media handling and some other parts are
not done sanely at the moment. In general the code
base needs some experienced eyes to clean it up
and refactor the code for a first release.

[b]THE KDE4 VERSION IS ALPHA CODE AT THE MOMENT,
ONLY USE IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.[/b]

[b]As i am not a great blog enthusiast any more
and do not blog often, I am not the perfect person
to work on KBlogger. If you have Qt/KDE
development experience and are willing to spend a
bit of time in KBlogger-dev regularly I'd love to
hear from you![/b]

Additional infos can be found on the webpage.
