I've been getting a lot of attention for my moblog even though it's not such a big technical feat really. All you need is a script to convert email into MT entires. We're going to make the code available so that hopefully more people can experiment with moblogging. It's being made available under a standard GPL v.2 license. Please let me know what you think. We hope to continue to improve it. The file is available at: http://joi.ito.com/archives/src/mail2entry-2002-12-25.tgz

Here are some notes about installation.Warning

This is a first attempt -- there are some things missing, but someone w/appropriate UNIX experience should be able to succeed in installation and configuration. I may update the instructions as I get feedback.

Prerequisites

The ability to read English and follow simple instructions.

A host connected to the Internet which can receive email [1] and:

    Python >= 2.2.2
    MT
      enabled w/ the XML-RPC interface
      a blog (determine your blog id)
      a blog user, the associated password [2]

  Please note that this code was designed to run on the host which the blog itself is running on.  Other configurations may be possible, but I don't recommend them and don't plan on supporting them at the moment.Thanks for all the work on this Sen

Please send feedback to me for the moment. We may designate someone to be in charge of the code later. Also, since it uses XML-RPC, it should be easy to get it to work with other blog platforms.

PS The GPL license on this code overrides the CC license on this site.
