Frontier I've played with Frontier over the years... and not done much with it. Radio, my blog tool is built on top of it and the company that makes that also makes a CMS Tool (Content Management System) for managing/creating complex websites called Manila that also sits on top of Frontier. It's one of those cool but complex things... The Frontier kernel was open sourced last Fall and can be found on Sourceforge. It has some things that Radio doesn't - like the ability to add/create new object databases (Frontier stores everything in its database files) -A lot of the references to the manila stuff hasn't been stripped out of the current open source version. So some things on the menus work but a lot don't. Not for the faint of heart... but I would really like to use it to build a tool to manage my stories in a much better fashion than Radio - which is meant for your basic blog and is a bit slow if you try to use it for things like the outliner (On my iBook anyway) 12:38:50 AM    Notes [] An experiment... For whatever it's worth... and assuming it even works... I've added "feedback" comment links to the main pages for the following stories: Red Raider - Part I - The Pilgrimage The Other Girl The Apprentice Summoned The Bond Girls The Two Out These seven (yes, seven) stories are the ones I hope to write a part or more for this summer. In a perfect world I would finish them all this summer. But right now... I'm hoping to finish the 2 short ones before September and one of the three long ones by Christmas. (Finish, unfortunately, is a relative term. What that means depends on the story. We'll see what happens.) Note:This is a manual process... I don't want comment links on every single page on my blog - which is what the automatic comment link macro in Radio would do. 12:14:11 AM    Notes []
