Okay! So Dave Winer Speaks Up for His OPML Editor
Dave, you are right. To me this is not a very well known fact:
First, a not-very-well-known fact (perhaps) is that the OPML Editor is built from the same kernel as the one that runs Manila and Radio, the codebase we call Frontier. That means that in addition to being an outliner, it can run tools that contain web services, and can run a local web server, which means you can put browser-based apps on the desktop.
It seems that indirectly or coincidentally, Dave Winer answers my previous post in his new post “A roadmap for my work on OPML reading lists.” Dave’s “codebase” is not .NET managed code. I’m not trying to pass a qualifying judgment here, I’m just saying… Well, anyway I did not know he was writing some kind of Tomcat-like thingy for OPML. Someone will Blog about why they think its cool and explain to me what’s going on…
