Okay the last message got out okay.
First, I'd like to apologize for using the term "drama queens" to
describe the people who were lobbying UserLand to do something
related to this project. It was over the top. I'm sorry I said it.
I really want to get something going here, and going back to UserLand
was not going to help that. The way to go is to start slowly and get
some releases out, improve the kernel in small ways, get some
successes under our belt, learn from them, and then do it again.
Then, if you want, once there's some new software out there, it makes
sense to offer it to EVERYONE to distribute, not just UserLand. What
about a Wordpress that runs in Frontier? What about a Frontier that
runs on an Archos music device? I want to think big, expansive.
Pressuring Scott Young, who already has a lot on his plate, is
predictable, even understandable, but it is going in the wrong
direction.
Anyway, I'm trying to get a new outliner released, one based on the
open source release, with very minor cosmetic changes. There's a
serious need for this tool in the podcast community, which has built
a very rich and interesting directory using OPML. Only a few of the
people have an outliner. I want to give one to everyone who wants
one, and foster a community of users. Would you help me do this?
