We need a way for people to export the data from their blorg blogs in a format that can be imported into other blogging systems.

WordPress has the pseudo-standard WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) format that many blogging platforms seem to support. However, it is not well documented. That said, it's also not very complicated. It's basically a modified RSS feed.

Here are some references for the format:

• http://devtidbits.com/2011/03/16/the-wordpress-extended-rss-wxr-exportimport-xml-document-format-decoded-and-explained/
• http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-get-the-extended-rss-schema
• http://wordpress.org/support/topic/importexport-xml-format
• http://google-blog-converters-appengine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/wordpress-sample.wxr

I would recommend starting with a basic copy of our existing feed page (example) and modify it to become the WXR format.
