jotSpot isHot!


Keeping Innovation Alive - The Hackathon by Bnoopy
:

'Dude, I just want to crawl into my hole [his cube], grow a beard, a build shit!'. I couldn't have put it any better myself.


I was impressed with the stuff these guys turned out in this hackathon. I got a feed from jotBlog via Rojo and followed it's link back to their webLog. Since the key programmers were named in the recent post I took the occaision to do google webSearches on their names. I was surprised that I had to take out their 'nicknames' before I got hits though. I was so impressed by the numbers of hits for some of those guys that I started taking and posting screenShots of them, showing their numbers.

After a few screenShots it occurred to me that raw hits didn't mean snap. The relevence was in the types of sites found and topics or content of their references. Still MILLIONS of hits for some of'em! Jeeze! I'll keep the screenShots I took back off this webLog to prove to the ol'lady that I don't spend too much time on the 'net! Relatively anyhow.

Now if I could just figure out how to rename my jotSpot wiki without deleting it and re-registering...

0penOffice.org 2.0 (1..9.95)

OpenOffice.org Introduction: There's already a newer version out!

Getting To Work: Start Here

Although we very much want C coders to hack away with our developers, not all of the projects require you to be an ace C programmer. In fact, OpenOffice.org very much needs community members to help sustain the project.

If you are not interested in programming, consider:

* QA Project (Finding bugs & issues). We have positioned the QA project as the center for finding bugs. Follow the instructions there.
* User Help Project. Hundreds of users come to the project wanting help on how to use it. our User-Faq project coordinates volunteer help.
* Marketing Project. We have a Marketing Project:. Its function: to spread the word among endusers and developers alike.
* Documentation Project. Consider joining our Documentation project. We need documentation, in any language.

If you are a developer, of whatever level, start here:

*
Development Section. Our general page linking to all key development projects (API, Porting, etc.), including our SDK and mail lists.

xmlXOXO

Appnel Internet Solutions: Simple, effective solutions that get things done. Specializing in Movable Type systems.: "The entry, XML::XOXO, is an object-oriented Perl API for working with XOXO a simple, XML and XHTML valid way of expressing extensible outlines that Technorati is advocating.

The package includes a parser, a simple perlish object tree model and a basic facility for re-serializing the data into XHTML fragments. The intent of XML::XOXO was to provide developer's with the core functionality needed to implement this more expressive and versatile alternative to OPML in their applications. It was also designed as the foundation for a library to work with the attention.xml specification and API that is in-progress, but incomplete.

XML::XOXO can be found in CPAN."

rssTutorial

RSS Workshop - a Tutorial:

In this workshop you'll learn how to create, validate, parse, publish, and syndicate your own RSS news channel. The emphasis will be the practical application of the two most popular varieties of RSS for dynamic publishing.

You can use RSS channels to allow customers to keep up on industry specific news, check weather, look for jobs, view upcoming concerts or university lectures, monitor specific websites, and much more. Some examples of the varieties of applications that government agencies and others have created:

syndicatedContent

Main Articles: 'Syndicated content: it's more than just some file formats?', Ariadne Issue 35:

There is, unsurprisingly, an increasing recognition that digital resources of all kinds are eminently suitable to repurposing and reuse. The Iconex Project [1], for example, was funded under JISC's 5/99 Programme to look at the creation, storage and dissemination of reusable learning objects. Service providers of the Arts & Humanities Data Service [2] concern themselves with collecting the digital outputs of scholarly activity in order to preserve them for posterity, but also with facilitating their ongoing use and reuse by learners, teachers and researchers across the community [3]. International developments such as the Open Archives Initiative [4] explicitly recognise the value of sharing metadata about resources with any number of service providers in order to raise visibility, and draw greater attention to the underlying resources.

As the presentation frameworks generically labelled as 'portals' continue to gain ground across the community, there will be an increasing requirement for reusable content of all forms, whether drawn from within the organisation building the portal or gathered from elsewhere. Work on the PORTAL Project [5], funded under the JISC's Focus on Access to Institutional Resources (FAIR) Programme [6] is raising issues relating to the reuse and reintegration of digital resources of various forms, specifically in the context of 'surfacing' these resources within institutional portals.

In this article, a number of these issues will be explored. For the sake of simplicity, and because of the ready availability of helpful visual examples, the bulk of the article will concern itself with RSS-based 'news feeds' [7]. Many of the issues raised, though, are more generically applicable, and will be revisited in greater detail through deliverables from the PORTAL Project itself.

Readers who are already comfortable with RSS may wish to skip straight to the suggestions for good practice... Those who are interested in making use of the potential offered by RSS, but without infrastructure such as a portal to display feeds of interest, might be interested in RSS-xpress-Lite from UKOLN [8], which allows RSS to be displayed in traditional Web pages with the use of a single line of Javascript.
