I’ve tried to clear up the confusion between the two: http://necronomicorp.com/lab/12

There’s now a list of clients on the Atom wiki: http://intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Implementations

Atom is the XML format described in RFC 4287.

APP is a publishing/editing protocol based on HTTP and using Atom as the unit of message.

I admit I haven’t watched Atom development as closely as I should have. Is the Atom API just an earlier version of what’s now called APP, or are they two completely separate things?

It looks like Drivel supports the Atom API, rather than the Atom Publishing Protocol. The difference between the two is going to be a big source of confusion.

Thanks, skippy, I haven’t run across that one. I’m really surprised at how hard it is to locate blogging clients like this.

Drivel is a GNU/Linux GTK app that purports to support Atom. I’ve only briefly tinkered with it.
