Windows Live Writer Support

I've been doing some digging to to what would be involved with adding support for Windows Live Writer to mojoPortal.  On first blush, it doesn't look that bad, but the devil is in the details, as they say.

Anyway, I thought I would float some ideas/ask some questions before I got too deep into it.

It looks like that by implementing the MetaWeblog API in mojoPortal that WLW support could be reasonably obtained.  It looks like mojoPortal might get a new dependency however.  Something like XML-RPC.NET.  It's covered under the MIT X11 licence, which I think would be compatible with mojoPortals CPL, correct?  Anyway, assuming that the licencing works out, what would be involved with adding in such a dependency?

Re: Windows Live Writer Support

Hey Tom,

Yes the license is compatible. I can add it in there for you if you're interested in implementing the WLW support that would be great!

For now just put the dll in the _libs folder, thats where I'll put it as soon as I get a chance. I'll add the source to our repository under vendor/xml-rpc.net so that we have source available should it need to be modified.

Best,

Joe

Re: Windows Live Writer Support

Sounds simple enough.  I'm still spiking things out and trying to get a feel for it, but it does seem promising.
