Interview. We had a quick chat with Stowe Boyd from Corante about what's planned for Gush. [Gush Blog]
Gush uses the open-standard popular Jabber messaging protocol. With
Jabber comes rich-message formatting enhanced by Gush's text-style
commands, Offline messaging, and presence control. Gush also introduces
Split Chat, a messaging technique that provides better conversation
flow, organization, and response abilities. Gush also provides
comprehensive conversation archiving and presence and privacy
features. Gush provides a news aggregator, with categorical
organization and viewing of RSS feeds. This is where the worlds of
Instant Messaging and Blogging meet. While you're not checking up on
your favorite weblogs, you can start your own IM Blog with Gush
Announcements and share thoughts and interests, privately and instantly
among your groups and additionally mark the status of your
announcements to let your colleagues know you're availability. --

An Interesting Reason to Give Kids an Aggregator. RSS for Kids
"Interestingly, RSS also has the potential to route around some of
the personal information issues that come with collecting and using
email addresses....
What next? I think there's a lot of potential for giving child-safe
news, search and directories the RSS treatment. Many parents only let
their children navigate to sites they've already bookmarked together.
Perhaps a daily stream of sites recently added to CBBC Search and the
Yahooligans directory, combined with quality news sources (National
Geographic Kids, CBBC newsround...), would give kids that much more to
explore. Combine this with a facility for their parents, teachers and
friends to bookmark their own finds (a kind of semi-private del.icio.us), and you've got an information-rich, safe, social space for children." [foe romeo, via Technorati search results for The Shifted Librarian] [The Shifted Librarian]

Jython Devlopment Toolkit (JyDT). Checkout this Jython plugin for Eclipse:
The Red Robin Jython development plug-in for Eclipse aims to
provide most development facilities expected by a Jython developer. The
project started in November 2003 and is carried out with limited
resources. There are no big plans about where to go with the plugin.
The evolution is driven by the needs of the users.

TestMaker and Jython. A coworker pointed me to PushToTest's TestMaker, an open-source web app testing tool that generates test cases written in Jython.
Cool. I am going to spend some time over the next fgew weeks working
with this so expect more postings about it in the future.
TestMaker is a free open-source framework and utility for
building intelligent test agents to check Web-enabled applications and
Web Services for scalability, performance and functionality. TestMaker
is a 100% Java application and runs everywhere Java runs, including
Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Macintosh OS X. Requires Java 1.4.1 or
greater.

Write Your Own Mini Aggregator with Jython and Rome!. Rome
is a new java API for reading RSS and ATOM feeds. Here is a quick
demonstration of what you can do with it using Jython, the Java
Scripting Swiss Army Knife.
Ok, you will need to add both the latest build of Rome and JDOM to your classpath. Next fire up jython or if you like use the Jython Console which will make exploring the ROME api a little easier.
Here is the source code then of a simple aggregator written in jython.
from java.net import URL
from com.sun.syndication.feed.synd import SyndFeedI
from com.sun.syndication.io import SyndFeedInput
myUrl = URL('http://www.pycs.net/users/0000177/rss.xml')
input = SyndFeedInput()
feed = input.build(myUrl.openStream())
entries = feed.getEntries()
for post in entries:
title = post.getTitle()
link = post.getLink()
print """%s""" % (title, link)
When you run this, you will get a list of links pointing to the posts in the feed, in this case the feed for my main site. [All things Jythonic]

Jython Bibliography -- Updated and Corrected. Thanks
to reader feedback including several of the authors I have corrected
the bibliography (its pretty neat to receieve feedback from the cited
authors. You have to love the 'net.). Additionally, I have added
several older articles on JPython which preceeded Jython. Again, if
there is anything missing or incorrect please let me know either in
comments here or via email to etaekema-at-earthlink-dot-net. [All things Jythonic]
