BlogAPI: Request for Contributors

I've had a lot of difficulty finding time to work on BlogAPI, finding that I'm typically tied up with my day job or with paying client work. I know that there were a pretty fair number of people that used BlogAPI in Drupal 6 that would like to use it in Drupal 7.

I've been thinking a lot about how to build BlogAPI for Drupal 7 and I think using Services would be a good way to go. There's a few BlogAPIs that use XML-RPC, but there are a few that are moving to simple RESTful servies or JSON-RPC, so Services make sense to me.

The problem is that I really can't justify spending time on BlogAPI right now due to the amount of paying work that I should be doing to help pay for college and related expenses. To that end, I've started a ChipIn for a complete Drupal 7 port of BlogAPI built on top of Services. The money will be used for purchasing my textbooks my first two or three semesters of college.

As an incentive, I'll be writing a fairly lengthy document about the new BlogAPI, how to configure and use it, and a little blurb about every sponsor that contributes greater than $50. It's not much, but for smaller Drupal shops, this would be a very good way to get your name out there!

You can find the ChipIn on the BlogAPI project page.
