Hi Greg and Zeke,<br><br>I would be glad to help to see if there are ways to integrate videos in your blog posts, as I'm the developer of <a href="http://olpc.dailymotion.com">olpc.dailymotion.com</a>, where all the videos are ogg, Theora + Vorbis encoded. <br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br>Sebastien<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 8:03 PM, Greg Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregsmitholpc@gmail.com">gregsmitholpc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Zeke,<br>
<br>
That's great!<br>
<br>
I think a lot of people will use it, if we can test it and make it<br>
available to XO users.<br>
<br>
As you may know we debated whether to implement the EduBlog tool<br>
(<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_Blogger_Project" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_Blogger_Project</a>) as part of Write<br>
or as a server side implementation.<br>
<br>
I pushed for server side (as opposed to Sugar or Write) because it was<br>
faster to market and I didn't see a good answer for the Teacher <-><br>
Student interaction requirements without it. Just FYI on the history.<br>
<br>
In short, many people would love to see Blogging directly from Write as<br>
an activity on the XO.<br>
<br>
Have you been able to make your customized Write w/blogging in to a .XO<br>
file?<br>
<br>
If so, post that somewhere (our wiki is OK) and I'll ask people to try<br>
it out ASAP.<br>
<br>
If you need help making a .XO file, let us know and we'll get you<br>
support on that.<br>
<br>
Also, you should synch up with the Write maintainers (Marc and Martin<br>
copied). Write is a derivative of AbiWord. If they can review the code<br>
and they like the idea, this could become part of the official AbiWord.<br>
They are about to release a new AbiWord so it may be too late for this<br>
round but get the details to the lead guys and we can go from there.<br>
<br>
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need any<br>
more info, help or collaborators.<br>
<br>
Optionally, I'm interested to hear more about your experience with the<br>
XO or any more info you have on yourself, your skills and your work.<br>
<br>
One Blog per Child!<br>
<br>
500K kids writing Blogs / 1K developers reading blogs and writing code<br>
with those kids = one turbo charged project :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Greg S<br>

Hello my name is Zeke Dean, I have been developing a bloging client for<br>
the past couple of months for the olpc based on the write activity. It<br>
is a solid bloging client that supports many different blogs and I<br>
believe it has a decent user interface. I would like to discuss if we<br>
can work together as we are both trying to promote the benefits of<br>
bloging for educational purposes.<br>
