"Kimbro Staken reports trouble with Radio 8. I'm going to get right on it. One of the things on my post-ship list is to write a file-system upstream driver. Anyone who does WebDAV uploads is going to need this." [Scripting News]
Well, here's one piece of it. Thanks Dave...

One of my primary needs for Radio is as an easy publishing mechanism to iTools. John Robb is right that Apple should make such a thing, but I think that Radio could be perfect, but there is much to do yet.

First is to get iTools enabled. Not just publishing via WebDAV, but making Radio aware of your iTools prefs in Mac OS X so that it 'just works'. Radio needs to be aware of iTools directory structure, and Radio needs to learn how to talk to iPhoto, iTunes, and so on.

These shouldn't be a problem. Radio should be able to do all of these with no problem.

But the real key to every iTools user wanting to use this, and I'm sorry to say it, is to get a real editing client. Editing in the browser is important, but Mac people are Mac people at least in part because the usability of the system is very high. Browsers, well, suck. We need WYSIWYG editing, drag and drop, service support (thanks, Brent, I don't even know where to start using this...) and all that.

My first thought is Applescript Studio. But this is hard, as I'm sure all at Userland can attest...
