Julian Harris : Towards a new weblog design

In my mind there ought not be any difference, atleast as far as the datastore is concerned, between a "post" and a "category". That is, the interface for editing a category is exactly the same as the one used to create and edit post. Okay, maybe the standard <link> definition might be autogenerated to point back to itself. Similarly, the <title> might become fixed if the other widgets in your weblog chooses not to refer to other items via UIDs. But the point is that a "category" can have a "post" body (or an abstract and a body, and an excerpt and an abstract and body and so on and so on...) and "post" comments and "post" categories. The list of categories available to a category are exactly the same (minus itself) as those that a user may assign to a "post". What makes this interesting, is that the nested associations create themselves.

Eugene Eric Kim : Purple

is a small suite of quickly hacked tools inspired by Doug Engelbart's attempt to bootstrap the addressing features of his Augment system onto HTML pages. Its purpose is simple: produce HTML documents that can be addressed at the paragraph level. It does this by automatically creating name anchors with static and hierarchical addresses at the beginning of each text node, and by displaying these addresses as links at the end of each text node." Thinking out loud (read:untested), it seems like you ought to be able to do the same thing with :







<xsl:template match = "somenode">







 <xsl:variable name = "anchor">



  <xsl:value-of select = "generate-id()" />



 </xsl:variable>







 <someanchor>



  <xsl:attribute name = "name">



   <xsl:value-of select = "$anchor" />



  </xsl:attribute>



 <someanchor>







 <somenode>



  <xsl:copy-of select = "." />



  <somedivider>



   <someanchor>



    <xsl:attribute name = "href">



     <xsl:value-of select = "$anchor" />



    </xsl:attribute>



    <xsl:value-of select = "$anchor" />



   </someanchor>



  </somedivider>



 </somenode>



</xsl:template>

Ikebe Tomohiro : Apache::RSS.pm

"generates RSS output of directory Index. Just like a mod_index_rss." Personally, I would use XML::Directory, XSLT or SAX and the RSS thread module but, you know, if you need something that actually works today this looks interesting.

Dr. Nikolai Bezroukov : Social Roots, Complexity and Never Ending Process of Interpretation of GPL

"[W]e will try to understand the social base of each licenses and thier underlying philosophies, as well as introduce the concept of the metric for license complexity and discuss the role of the process of interpretation of GPL as an important social process in free/open developers community. We will view both licenses not as binding legal documents, but more like "social contracts" that presuppose certain political philosophy behind them and encompass people that belong to a certain social stratum. That brings us to the concept of programming intelligentsia from which we will start our exploration of this topic."
