Station Identification: OPML Fan is a weblog covering developments in OPML and the OPML Community, including folks who blog on blogs.opml.org, but also those in the growing diaspora of OPML users and kibitzers that's spreading to places across the web near and far. OPML Fan is written by Lisa Williams using the OPML Editor created by Dave Winer. Tips? Questions? lisa AT cadence90 dot com or lisatmh on gtalk. A grab-bag of responses to the OPML 2.0 draft spec Alex Barnett on OPML 2.0: "Support for namespaces. Sweet." Read/Write Web: OPML: Key for Personalization in 2006 OxDECAFBAD: "The addition of subscription lists as a part of the OPML 2.0 spec is actually pretty significant, and I only just now felt it sink in." Tech Crunch passes the news on the launch of OPML 2.0 to readers of Le Crunch. [Think Le Monde, only for Web 2.0, instead of France]. OPML 2.0 Review Mailing List. This is the place for more discussion on the spec: a Yahoo! Group to discuss the OPML 2.0 draft spec during the 60 day public comment period -- going on now. I just subscribed to this group as an RSS feed, the first time I've ever done so for a mailing list. Up until now, I've always subscribed to mail lists by having messages sent to my email client. Mis.Plaiced sounds like a very interesting person and is working on a project s/he calls OPML.Utils, which for now does interesting things with del.icio.us. I don't know if Marty can here me from here, but if he can, I'd like to encourage him to keep up with his rowing workouts. People who challenge themselves rock. Oh! Speaking of hearing and being heard, I want the folks at the OPML Community Blog to know that I got their message and I'm all set now. I haven't logged in but that's just because I'm trying to catch up on work. Thanks so much for your diligence on my behalf. Tom Morris reports that Matthew Chen of Megite contrasts his service to Memeorandum thusly: "it "autodiscovers new blogs, not just [the] A-list." Nick Bradbury, creator of the popular FeedDemon RSS reader for Windows, talks about how he uses XSLT to do interesting things with OPML and RSS. Dave has thorough notes on how the new preferences system in the OPML editor works. This will be vital for any revision I make to the manual, and it's very thoughtfully done, because it tells me precisely where there are new menu items, and which menu items (commands) are no more in the editor. Thanks Dave! Longtime OPMLer and man of the cloth RevTim has launched his own podcast, RealHopePodcast. EirePreneur: "Polygamy is acceptable and even expected but you must go through a ceremony with each new data partner. And once you're in its a pain to get out. It's faster to chant "I divorce thee" three times than to pull the plug on a feed." WHEN is this man going to come to the states? I must see his live act. About This Particular Macintosh: Outliner Use Patterns Not a new article, but a lengthy one that the author clearly gave a lot of thought to. Vinny would like to see support for OPML in developer toolkits for Java programmers. The current Java libraries have support for consuming and creating feeds, but not for consuming and creating OPML. Hello, Java People! The People of OPML wish to establish diplomatic relations with your nation! Catalogablog is a specialist in technologies for libraries, and has hit on the idea of embedding OPML in databases of library holdings. Right now many of us still relate to OPML as a way to make lists of RSS feeds, or even make those lists dynamic, but ultimately OPML's biggest impact will be in making it as simple to add a record to a self-assembling worldwide directory as it is today to write a blog post. (Did that make any sense at all? I hope so.) Donovan Watts: i continue to move things away from my sites and into the all knowing directory of donovan. Scott Penton: "Today an easy day here in the desert, I updated my home site: scottpenton.com and now just sitting here in a cool coffee shop with free wifi, listening to AOL Radio." |
