Add a "live-blogging" feature to the admin/entry interface

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What I'm thinking about is some sort of an AJAX service that works like
"Drafts" in GMail.

The idea is that when you're live-blogging something (a keynote, a seminar,
etc.) you could check a little box on the entry interface (or otherwise
opt-in to the feature; it wouldn't be on by default) and every few seconds
the AJAX service would update and post the entry you're working on without
taking you out of the entry screen. You could continue modifying, updating,
etc., until the event was over, and then click the "Post" button as normal,
ending the session and finalizing the post.

The "live-blogging" option would not need to be recorded anywhere in the
database - it's a session-lived option. Once I click that "Post" button (or
uncheck/deselect the live-blogging option), it stops. If I return to edit
that entry, I'd have to manually opt-in again to the "live-blogging"
feature if I wanted to continue doing that.

I am trying this, but with cookie+javascript instead of session to avoid any
serverside coding. I am accessing the blog content in the entry page in 
javascript
like
document.getElementById("ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_pageContent_postsContent_Editor
_richTextEditor_richTextEditor___Frame").contentWindow.frames[0].document.body.i
nnerHTML
. This works for FCK Editor in firefox and IE, I need to test for other editors 
and
implement a generic solution.

I will update once the issue

my system.
