Brian Ingerson: CGI::KWiki
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/05/14/kwiki.html
YAML-author Brian I. has a cool perl.com article on his KWiki-framework
implementation. It's not necessarily cool because of the Wiki, but
because he sticks in a reference to Fit Tests and using a wiki to help
users contribute tests for your software. I really like this idea of
applying Wiki's ease of contribution and dumb-easy user interface to
both generating and getting feedback from your test cases. I haven't
figured out where/how it'd work for me, but it looks worth digging into.

Jon Udell Talks about rules engines:
http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2003/05/16.html#a692
It's easy to pitch the incremental benefit that a tightly focused
solution like a rules engine provides, but Jon should really mention
why rules engines (like OLAP/in-memory databases/object databases) don't
usually 'work' in the greater scheme of things. It takes a lot to add
a new technology to a project, and much more to add it to the enterprise
as a strategic architectural underpinning (rules seem to imply this kind
of commitment). The problem has to literally scream for a solution like
this before you can pitch it as viable.

Jeremy Zawodny on Sun
http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000723.html
I agree whole-heartedly. Sun is in the same boat as Apple when they
were forced to take in the Microsoft cash a few years back. Apple is
evolving into a consumer electronics company, and managing to
successfully use open source to keep their proprietary platform
competitive ... if they can do it, Sun probably can, but Apple had the
luxury of melting down in an up market. Is there enough cash left in
enterprise budgets to help Sun? Or is Jini their only hope at the mass
market?
