Well, I've not blogged on any consistent level. But now, thanks in no small part to metaPost, I think I might get back into the blogging/publishing scene some more.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an avenue for developers who are contributing to the development of either the metaPost infrastructure or to one or more metaPost providers to share their insights and discoveries as well as tips and tricks. 

With the release of metaPost 1.1, there were 4 providers: 

  • Text/HTML provider
  • Blog provider
  • FAQs provider
  • Ventrian News Articles provider

However, we anticipated that this list would grow as users and developers began to realize how useful offline editing can be for managing DotNetNuke content.  The first developer to answer our call and actually begin development on a metaPost provider is Dan Gilleland.  I'll let him introduce himself through his own blog entries here on the site, but we're very excited to have him joining the team. 

I'll talk more about this when the first third party module is ready for release, but there are several third party module developers working on the development of a metaPost provider that they plan to ship with their module. 

If you have an interest in writing a metaPost provider for either your own custom module or for an existing DotNetNuke module, please contact us to let us know.

If you're interested in helping to take metaPost to the next level by creating one or more metaPost providers for DotNetNuke modules, then we would love to have you join the team of developers currently working to provide metaPost support for adding content to DotNetNuke.

Current team members include:

  • Dan Gilleland - working on a provider for the DotNetNuke Announcements module
  • Don Worthley - coordinating efforts related to provider development

There are also a number of third party module developers who are at various stages of interest/development regarding metaPost support for their product.  Contact Us today if you would like to receive our SDK and add support for publishing through Windows Live Writer.  Our metaPost provider API has been designed to make it as easy as possible for you to add support for the MetaWeblog and other publishing APIs to your product.
