Re: OutputTHis service cysrtalization


Rambling about application flow, I think that the general outline will
always be like this:

1) you're on a web page with something you want to reuse. We're using
"reblogging" as a convenient shorthand for reusing stuff from a web page.

2) you grab the stuff, either with something like a Greasmonkey-based
microformat parser or by clicking a link provided by the source page.

3) you send the stuff to the correct handler by using something like
OpenURL, the Redirect This web service, or a MIME helper app.

4) the handler applies format-specific knowledge to the stuff (like an
editor for hReview) and helps you route it to the final destination.
This is where output-this fits in. I think that reblog.org also fits
here, but I'm not sure.

5) the final destination publishes the stuff, for example by posting
it on a blog. An example final destination is a Wordpress
installation which receives data via the Atom API.

The one observation I would make is that I think something like this is right, but we need some concrete use cases. The one that keeps on coming to mind to me...

... Agreed. And software -- too much blue sky stuff gets you nowhere. ... Hm. Most of the code this would need is already done, more or less. The only piece I...
