IM-porter plugin for WordPress
I released a new WordPress plugin this morning: IM-porter: Import your chat transcripts into WordPress. I wanted to save some decade-old AIM logs, so I wrote an importer to convert them into posts on a private blog. While I was doing that, I found more chat and IRC logs, so I extended the importer to handle those too.
IM-porter is extendable by other plugins too; to add support for a chat log format, just implement the abstract methods in the Chat_IMporter_Format class and add the class name to the array filtered by the chat_importer_formats
filter.

Chris, I really like your idea of making WordPress a complete “vault” for ones entire web identity. That’ very #indieweb!

Thanks Julien, it’s become a passion of mine lately. Some day, I hope to have a single browseable, searchable archive of all of my online activity, and it will most likely be powered by WordPress.
