Puck

Note: Puck is not in active development. The 0.1 version is in production use at blog.subnet.at and does what it is supposed to do. It is unlikely that I will add new features, but the source is included in the distribution.

Puck is a small server application that imports eMails into an Antville blogging service.

It is written in Java, and should run either on the server running antville, or a different server that is available all the time, or at least most of time.

Puck reads eMail messages from a POP3 account, parses them, and tries to create antville posts out of them. Images included in the message (for example from a phonecam) will be uploaded to antville, and the images get automatically embedded into the stories.

As of 26.05.2004, puck is still in a very early development stage, although successfully used at blog.subnet.at. If you’re interested, please download the distribution. A manual containing all the information to get you started is included.
