Idea for aiding comprehension of the OPML Editor (and OPML) 

What if the new support site offered a series of audio interviews with people who use OPML? Just in the interest of accomodating people with different learning styles. For guests, we'd choose a variety of levels from newbie to developer, and a variety of applications including outlining for idea generation, the blogging tool, the aggregator, collaboration via instant outlining.

One of the big benefits of the editor is the wide range of possible ways to use it, but its very widerangingness makes it hard for the unititiated to pin it down.

Oh dear 

Hey, Dan. Well, not a total loss by any means. It's the way I learn stuff. In my usual overdoing of cosmetic modifications I learned a lot about XSLT just by wading in it.

Problems? I didn't have the javascript file in there for one thing. Kind of key, right? I just poked around and it came together.

Looks like we have our work cut out for us 

Dave points to confessions of confused users of the OPML Editor. Well, it is a beta, including the docs. Good to have the feedback, and gracious of Dave to acknowledge the validity of the comments.

And now the call to action. Head on over to the OPML Community blog: sub to both the posts feed and the comments feed; speak up and say you'll comb the Yahoo groups for FAQ questions; sign up for other duty; put in your 2 cents on what's been discussed so far about the public 1.0 site and the manual.

Car roll in the yabfog OPML browser 

All the cars we've ever owned

Tagcamp.com must have been unhooked, finally? I started the car roll when I was over there and kept it there, and just now moved it back to opml.org when I was looking for outline examples and noticed it was broken in Dave's community directory.

Car outlines from Dave, Wilk and Josh have been trashed too. Maybe I should call that experiment dead. It was a fun example of inclusion, though!

The OPML browser doesn't like my gada.be literary adaptations search feed either. It works great as a reading list in NewsRiver.

Got Dan's browser going on my server 

Put in your own OPML URL.

Dan says he's going to be improving it and making it work with the OPML editor, so you might want to wait. But I started fiddling with it before he said that and I couldn't make myself abandon it. Here's where he has instructions and requirements.

This is exactly what I had been looking for, for a work-work project to show project status to people who don't have the OPML editor installed.
