Hi! I'm new to Django exploring what can be done with it and I'd like that blog users could use some of desktop blog clients to publish their posts to Django-powered blog site, so I did some research about support for MetaWeblog and Atom PP in DJango which has brought me to the two tickets:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/226) and http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3570. Now, I'm curious if someone can explain me why is the ticket for MetaWeblog API (#226) closed and marked as 'invalid ' with the comment "Django's not a weblog engine; it's a framework for building content management systems. It's going to be up to individual authors of blog packages to support any APIs." while the ticket for adding Atom PP (#3570)is accepted and being worked on? I asked on #django and got the answer that "It's not possible to please everyone." which is true 'cause I'm not please by that answer :-) and wonder if there is some deeper (aka: technological) reason behind it 'cause both protocols seems to be very popular in blog-engines?
