The reStructuredText for WordPress project now has a home on Launchpad.

Like any other narcissistic programmer, I'd love to create the worlds billionth blog platform using Python, Schevo, and using reStructuredText as the native posting format.

As it stands though, I have more interesting things to do with my time, and WordPress definitely does a fantastic job providing a blogging platform.

Throughout the last several years, as I've blogged off and on, I've enjoyed using reST through most of that experience, with both PyBlosxom and WordPress. With regards to WordPress, it appears that several others have also enjoyed the plugin, including the following folks:

• Bob Ippolito
• Pupeno
• Ian Bicking
• James Gardner

They have all contributed a lot to the plugin in the form of improvements and documentation, but until now it has been an uncoordinated effort, and I'm pretty sure we are all running different versions of the plugin. :-)

Now that the project is at Launchpad, and I've pushed a trunk branch there using Bazaar, perhaps we can all get together and slowly but surely integrate all of the improvements people have made, and work toward an even better (and more easily installable) version of the plugin for all interested parties to use.

Thanks to everyone who uses this plugin and has contributed to it!
