Summer of Code 2008 Kickoff

May 26, 2008 at 4:16pm in Code

Google’s Summer of Code 2008 is officially underway! This year I am working on creating an AtomPub-based content importer for WordPress. The goal is to import entries and other content from Movable Type and TypePad into WordPress in as few clicks as possible.

Since the AtomPub spec (RFC 5023) is so new, this should prove to be an interesting summer. I will be one of the first to implement a real world use of AtomPub, and I suspect documentation will be scarce. Regardless, I am up for the challenge and can’t wait to see how the end product turns out.

If you’re interested in the progress of this project, just stayed tuned to this blog. I will be blogging weekly updates on my progress, so you will always know where I stand.
