[Server-devel] EduBlog: Looking for comments/bugs

[Tarun Pondicherry]

Currently, there is no way to upload a Write file with images.  I will 
try to get some kind of support for uploading it, but it is an area in 
itself.  The upload format is not easy to convert to xhtml as far as I 
know.  I was not aware of a lot of the issues in this area since the 
information on the wiki doc did not address the problems with 656.  My 
current thinking is to install libabiword (latest) and make it do the 
conversion.  Any technical suggestions on alternatives are very welcome, 
especially if anyone knows of a php library that can do this.

Copy and paste in itself is not a blocker.  The issue is the format 
which libabiword in 656 can export to.  The issue with copy and paste is 
the same issue there is with upload.  The format is abw, not odt or 
something where php libraries exist to do the conversion.

I will work on this as the top issue now.  I think auth with 100 day 
sessions should be okay (right?), and most other major bugs, I think are 
under control.
