Listened to the 2.0 draft podcast Dave's a good teacher. This is how the feed from my OPML blog looks as rendered by Drupal and placed on its built-in aggregator's source page. OPML 2.0 draft spec is published So that was the 2.0. Dave was being literal for a change. I guess that's part of the tease, too. His prose may send you wandering off on an allegorical tack, only to be yanked rudely back to facts and reality. Glad to see the ownerId element so you don't have to put in your e-mail address to be contacted. I made a page for my ID last fall when the spec was being kicked around. Anne's piece about OPML on the Blogher site sparked some interest in instant outlining for collaboration in the comments. Lisa and I are women to watch. Instant outlining as a collaboration tool I keep coming back to thinking what a terrific thing it would be to bundle a specialized group of the OPML Editor tools to offer as an intranet. I wonder if security-conscious IT people who don't really get the internet would look askance at it because it's such an uncategorizable animal. One good thing for the corporate setting is that it runs on Windows. Anybody know of cases where the Radio community server was used as an intranet -- or of any instances of a customized outgrowth of the Frontier codebase that has been deployed in such a way? Manila is used for intranet purposes, but does it offer instant outlining? (In a neverending quest to eschew MBA marketerspeak I resisted referring to an intranet "solution" even though the word begged to make the little leap from my fingertips to the keyboard.) Jon Udell is mashing up screencasts and interviews. I was just scribbling about something like that on Sunday, brainsterbating about the support section of the new OPML Editor site. Screencasts:
Idea: try something that's the opposite of how most screencasts are assembled. Use the audio interviews as the sound track for screencasts. By doing the audio first and the screen demos after, it's more like the way they make cartoons. I suppose I'm going to have to dig into Flex and try to understand it. Somebody at work is sure to ask me about it. I should try out the idea of not feeling like I have to be on top of everything and see how it goes. Let somebody else read up and distill it for a change; see how easy it isn't. At the same time, I'm interested myself in the ways that Adobe and Macromedia products are going to intersect. I wonder if this might breathe new life into Cold Fusion. |
