With the help of Simone and his team at
eVectors, I've finished porting
activeRenderer's update/registration code to
liveTopics.
I reckon it's now up to Matt to decide when the first version is ready for public use.
As I understand it, liveTopics is the first step in a terrific new blogging experimentation, so I can't wait, even if, being slightly maniac, I feel there are still a few things that need polishing.
In the porting process, I've created a demo updateTool which does nothing but register on eVector's server and handle updates. More on this and are tool update initiative later.
