Program:	postping
Description:	utility to aggregate weblog trackback pings into a meta-blog
Version:	1.0 (14-Aug-2003)

postping is a package that aggregates weblog trackback pings into a Movable Type weblog, to create a meta-blog of weblog entries. The package provides a CGI that can receive trackback pings, as well as a form for manual submission. Each trackback is encapsulated into a Movable Type blog entry, and then posted to the weblog.

This package was developed for an earlier version of the Austin Bloggers meta-blog. We are no longer using this package, but I'm making it available for people who may find it useful. See this article for background information on this package.

You must have Python version 2.2 (or later) installed on your system. Some versions of Red Hat Linux, for instance, only install version 1.5, and you need to manually install the RPM for 2.2.

You must already have Movable Type (or a system that understands the MT RPCs) installed on the system where you want to present the Metablog.
