No wait for tools.

The really cool thing about this kind of directory isn't the format, OPML is designed to be unremarkable. When people look at the OPML files and criticize them I know they don't understand OPML, but I wish they did. They're looking at the roots of a tree, when the interesting stuff is happening in the canopy, in the tree-tops.

Here's what's different. There's no need to wait for a tool to edit this format, because the tool existed before the format. This is flipped around from all other XML formats, where it may or may not be possible to create a tool. We know of several good outliners that support OPML. And outliners are a tool of choice for people who think, people who have information that we want in directories. It's a clever plan!

Hey if you want to know about outliners, ask Larry Lessig. Lawyers love them. Soon so will librarians.

Latest additions are RSS Plugin, JSinclude, Tidy Tool, monthTable3, The Relativizer, Manila Shortcuts Bookmarklet, manilaExpress For News Items, Transclude, LDAP and Security in Frontier, DocServer and Winpoke
