.LRN is out there

David Wiley has looked and .LRN and likes what he sees. I am very happy that .LRN is getting noticed outside of the OpenACS project.

I'm going!

I finally registered for OSCOM. Its definitely the most affordable conference I have ever seen. I think I will be learning quite a bit to build a great CMS for OpenACS.

Finding friends with XML and RDF

I finally starting reading about the FOAF RDF format. Finding friends with XML and RDF is a pretty good introduction.

Thoughts, Ideas, and Outlines

Gregor Rothfuss pointed me to Ideagraph which is a very interesting thought and idea organization tool. I had previously found it after discovering the Thoughtstream app for Palm OS. It looks like both of these tools could make use of OML or OPML outline formats in XML. This is somewhat related to CMS tools in that many web sites' hierarchies could be modeling in an outline.

This is very interesting to me, so much that I volunteered to work on the Python version of Thoughtstream. I like the interface and I think it would be nice to somehow integrate the Thoughtstream concepts into an online outline type of application combined with OpenACS.

Going to OSCOM

I plan on attending OSCOM. I admit I haven't paid yet, but I will be there! To that end, I an linking to Sam Ruby's experiment in Ridiculously Easy Group Forming. Beyond participating in that, this post is another test of my new trackback code.

Re: Design Reuse

Gregor Rothfuss, one of those behind OSCOM, has some great ideas on reusing ideas.
this is where reuse at the site level comes in. real problems are not solved by frameworks per se, but rather with concrete uses of the framework on a real site. we therefore encourage the sharing of and collaboration on complete sites, with navigation, information architecture, workflows..
This type of reuse is needed by the OpenACS community also. Too much knowledge of how to build a real web site with OpenACS is locked up in the developer's heads. I think, especially after the recent dotLRN/OpenACS meeting, that we are moving in that direction.

dotLRN seminar in progess

Wow. It is pretty interesting to see the dotLRN siminar progress in almost real-time. http://www.collaboraid.biz/extranet/dotlrn/seminar-blog/

Too bad I hadn't finished the trackback code. The seminar weblog uses the same software I am using here, and it would have been fun to ping it.

Trackback progress

This weblog has incoming trackback enabled. I haven't had a chance to implement the outgoing trackback. I would like to have an automatic system that detects outgoing links, scans the linked page for trackback info, and sends a ping. Maybe an optional confirmation screen would be handy, along with a manual trackback ping form. We'll see.

If was pretty easy to accept incoming pings. I have integrated it with the general-comments system here. So far it does not keep track of where the pings have come from except in the text of the comment. The reasoning for integrating with comments was to allow any commentable item to also accept trackback pings. I need to think about it a little more, but I definitely want to allow any content on the site to receive or send trackback pings.

Hey, I just noticed that automagically parsing outgoing links for trackback was discussed: http://www.stupidfool.org/archives/2002/09/000211.shtml
