The Next Round of WYSIWYG XML Editing?
The development of two promising Open Source browser-based WYSIWYG XML editors come to the next round:
Giuseppe Bonelli is looking for developers joining him to (re-)start development [1] of the Xopus [2] Open Source version. This is a WYSIWYG XML editor based on MS Internet Explorer.
I am awaiting a profound rewrite of Bitfluxeditor [3], a Mozilla-based WYSIWYG XML editor, which hopefully might happen in the foreseeable future. This rewrite is called BXE-NG (Bitfluxeditor Next Generation) and might be based on Mozile [4]. See the threads in the BXE mailinglist for more infos. [5].

Jeremy Zawodny's Personal Blogging History
Jeremy is blogging since 1 year. In a post [1], he looks back at how it all started, his top 10 posts, where traffic came from, etc. Interesting to read about his personal blogging experience and history, because it shows that Weblogs are also a mean to keep track of an individuals stories being told or referred to and whom they influenced.
