PowerBlog Released as Open Source

Blogger Developers Network: PowerBlog

"Jon Davis just wrote in to let us know that PowerBlog (a Windows-based desktop blogging client) has gone Open Source:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwrblog/"


From the SourceForge project site:
"A powerful and intuitive Windows desktop blogging application. Post blog entries to your XML-RPC/Blogger API host, FTP host, or other host. Extensible using .NET assemblies or by using VBScript/JScript scripts. Outlook-style article browsing interface."

From the readme in the source code:
"Version 1.x of PowerBlog was written entirely in VB6. Some of its implementation is documented in the "TECHNICAL" section below.

Version 2.x of PowerBlog was written almost entirely in C#, with parts of the VB6 (1.x) version still associated with the product. It is basically the same as the 1.x version in functionality, but is less bug-ridden, is cleaner, is prettier, and adds a few new features such as experimental RSS subscriptions, web browsing, and an experimental command line blogging application."


Cool.. Tons of source code to play with... ;)
