So I finally got a real job on February 24th and immediately went into Radio silence ;)
Here's what has happened since: PurpleSlurple.net is back up and running. Thanks to Peter Yim and CIM3. CIM3 has taken an active interest in PS and as a result I've been moved to do some work (after quite a few months of research and getting up to speed on a few issues).
PurpleSlurple was released as open source (I finally picked a license).
I just posted an updated version of PStxt which you can check out. A much nicer presentation of the content verses the old version of PStxt IMO. Works great on plain old text and for commenting on html source. I will be moving it to PurpleSlurple.net soon.
A new improved version of PS should be coming out this weekend if things go well. The new version should be much quicker at parsing files and getting the transcoded page back to the browser (large files in particular should benefit from this). Also, plan to fix an error that allowed "&" in the target URL to break PS.
I am making pretty good progress towards "quotation in any part". A solution that will give us finer grained, fairly robust links -- ON THE FLY.
Plans for the future include combining PS with PStxt so that the page will get parsed according to its file format. I then would like to extend PS to parse .doc and .pdf files.
Also, I would like to create a roll your own PS bookmarklet builder that will allow one to specify for example where the anchors should be placed (beginning/end of paragraph), whether to use numbers/graphics, link/alink/vlink color(s), option to show/hide certain elements or include toggle button, etc.
It's gonna be a busy Spring.
