[pLog-svn] xmlrpc file change?

[Oscar Renalias]

Your first idea wasn't so crazy after all...  And even if the XMLRPC  
server library was still supported, there's nothing wrong about  
adapting the code to our needs as long as we mark these changes  
clearly in the code and somebody is aware of them.

About the atom plugin, as I said it implements the 0.3 spec although  
I don't know how much the atom spec has changed with the release of  
the 1.0 version. It was mainly developed so that it would work with  
Nokia's Lifeblog client (for posting pictures from phone to web) but  
it also worked with other desktop clients such as Ecto. Have a look  
at it and see if it already does all you need.
