Since proposing this project I read that James Snell of the Abdera
project may be able to contribute an existing Abdera-based AtomPub
implementation for Roller in the near future.
If that is the case, this project would be redundant. However, I
wouldn't want to hold off on development of a nice Abdera-based
AtomPub implementation for Roller in hopes of one that may never
arrive.
James, can you say anything about the possibility or timing of an
Abdera-Roller contribution? If such a contribution were made, would it
use the new Abdera 0.4 server framework. If not, I wonder: would
integrating/upgrading your implementation be a suitable GSoC project?

I've been a bit held up by some day job stuff but will see if I can get
this moving within the next couple of weeks. One issue with the code is
that it is based on a Roller 3.x codestream. It will need to be updated
to the latest trunk.

Gayani,
Oh, and I forgot to say: great! I'm very glad to hear you are
interested in this project. It sounds like you have the right
experience and interests to do a good job.
Thanks,
