Re: [opml-dev] Re: OPML 1.1

Stan that looks very useful. Could you add Morbus's info to that.

I think people should post their reports to the list, as long as it isn't
overwhelming, and you should merge them into the outline as they become
available.

Also, how about a list of apps you reviewed. Looks like you have "UserLand" and
"JOE." There are now many others, basically all the aggregators do something
with OPML.

Per an old thread on this list, I started and posted
an OPML document that contains this sort of info. It
still lives at :

http://JavaOutlineEditor.org/OPML/OPML_Elements_and_Attributes.opml

Last revisions to that document
are almost two years old, January of 2002.

I'd be happy to make revisions to that document based on folks
postings here on the list or notes sent to me via email,
whichever is easiest.

Excellent. That's exactly the kind of report we need. Since Brent went next, maybe he could explain how he uses OPML, in a style similar to this explanation....
