Authoring API released for comment:

It’s a big day today on developer.podshow.com. We’ve posted a draft of the Authoring API. Its purpose is to allow third-party tools to upload content into the network. It’s based on the metaWeblog API, a standard from the blogging world that a number of pre-existing tools already implement. The API has been live in production for a few months, with members of the PodShow network posting their content through CastBlaster. We’ve also tested the API against one blog tool, Ecto, with success.
