 Dave: "OPML 2.0 is a milestone, much like RSS 2.0 was in the summer of 2002. We now know how OPML is being used, and where the problems are, and I think are ready to produce a frozen and extensible format and spec." Library Clips: Ways To Make Reading Lists So Far Libraries I have loved Ed wants OPML of your favorite (real-world) libraries. I spent a lot of time at the library in my town as a kid. I went there almost every day. It was a big place, with actual gargoyles, looking like a midieval UFO touched down in a field of strip malls. It was poorly staffed and they'd just leave you alone, with your ideas and your books.   I was very sad on a recent visit to find that patrons are no longer allowed to go into the upper galleries "for insurance reasons" and, later, when I took out my camera to take a picture, I was stopped and told I had to sign a release form and show my driver's license. So there's no browsing for religion, sociology, languages, law, and literature -- you have to already know what you want and send a staff member -- and if you appreciate the library's beauty you'd better not be obvious about it. What a bummer. |
