seems like we've got ourselves an ally ;-)

http://svn.pythonpaste.org/Paste/apps/FlatAtomPub/trunk/
perhaps we can use some of that...
on another note: i'm currently still busy working on my current non-
profit-just-for-fun project (a grok-based bittorrent client), so i
won't be able to invest much actual coding time for this right now,
but i think it would be a good idea to go ahead with the interface
specification and discuss that here: perhaps you could go ahead and
start with your proposed IMember / ICollection / IService etc.?
another thing to look at is amplee[1] which already offers a storage
implementation for ZODB.
my own approach would be to 'hook up amplee with zope3', create z3
interfaces for its classes (member, slug, collection etc.) -- either
by adopting their existing signature 1:1 or by writing some light-
weight adapters.
how's that sound to y'all?

Tom,
Have you seen Pete Lacey's appfs? Mounts an Atompub service on your
filesystem, which would seem to be ideal for blogging. This
demonstrates Atompub's potential as much as anything I've seen.
http://wanderingbarque.com/appfs/using_appfs.html
The interfaces seem obvious: IMember (with derived IEntry/IMedia),
ICollection, IService. So do the analogies to IContainer and
IContained. The Zope 3 publisher already supports HTTP PUT and
DELETE, does it not? It looks to me like the media/linking part of
the protocol and cataloging is where most of the complexity lies.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it to the
conference this year :(
Cheers,
Sean

hi guys,
i am indeed very interesting in implementing atompub for zope and
plone. i've even had the chance to meet tim bray a few weeks ago,
one of the authors and evangelists of the protocol and he had some
convincing arguments why atompub will be pretty important.
as die-hard plonista/zopista i'd like to see zope and plone play a
leading role in spreading and supporting this protocol.
IMNSHO the tricky part will be the design and architecture of how
to make this generic. the actual atom implementation itself is
rather straight forward. this is probably the biggest reason why i
haven't started out yet in earnest. perhaps we can discuss the
design of such an implementation here (if that's on-topic enough)
and then get some advice from some of the zope gurus.
this would also make a nice lighning-talk / BOF topic for the
upcoming conference (where all the experts can be cornered in a
pub and bribed with beer!)
so, sean, if you got anything in particular in mind, go ahead and
shoot ;-)
@tim: thanks for cc:ing me... i had 212 unread messages on the
list, but i'll keep following from now on again...
cheers,
tom

Hi all,
Is anyone interested in collaborating on, or already working on, an
Atompub implementation?
I've got a toy service at http://zcologia.com/hammock/index.atom
and
would like to do such a thing for Zope and Plone. My specific
use case
is for geography or GIS (sketched out at
http://zcologia.com/news/494/designing-simple-gis-services-for-
zope/
), but I'm sure there's a lot of common ground that would be better
served by a general purpose package.
Hi Sean,
I don't have the time or inclination to work on this myself, but
I know
that Tom Lazar is very interested (cc'd in case he's not on this
list).
As part of my SoC project, I've been working on remote blogging
(which
Atom Publishing is an example of, if I'm not mistaken). I have a
package in the collective that is intended to hold interfaces and
implementations for these sorts of things, and currently has that
for
MetaWeblogAPI:
<http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/quills.remoteblogging/
trunk/quills/remoteblogging>.
Maybe that's of interest to you.
Tim
