Zope.Org: How To Use XML-RPC with Zope.

Chris McDonough: Zope vs SiteServer Comparison.

Ari Davidow, on XML editors: Allegations of Functionality in search of reality. "I have encountered none of the enthusiasm for specific tools that foreshadowed the transition from editors to word processors (dig that Wordstar!), or that accompanied the rise in HTML (HomeSite! No, PageMill!). I have found no comparative reviews or links to favorite XML editors on the XML interest websites."

My personal preference, Frontier's outliner, makes a fine XML editor. I really don't need or want anything more than this, at this time.

Salon: Wilt Chamberlain Dead at 63.

Learning about Aggregation: "The XML-RPC connection we specified between affiliates and the aggregator works great if the connection between the aggregator and all the affiliates is 7-by-24 and high performance.."

Cameron Barrett: Why Epinions Might be the Next Amazon. "Not only is Epinions providing a valuable service to consumers, it will likely become the first place companies and manufacturers will go when attempting to gauge consumer opinion about their products and services."

Juancarlo Anez: Start the Revolution without me. "Like many programmers, I have used and written open-source software for a long time. I'm glad that we now have a phrase -- open source -- to describe what we've been doing. But I object to narrow definitions that exclude workable, time-honored, and popular practices. Now that we have a buzzword, people are trying to cram political and economic agendas into the term." Excellent!

Frontier: Suites in Guest Databases. A big feature request!

Useful Inc: XSL Stylesheet for ScriptingNews.

Wired: eBay Aggregation Dispute Escalates. "Our company position is we believe we're complying with all applicable laws," said Kamini Ramani, AuctionWatch's vice president of corporate communications. "We believe this is public domain information."

Salon: Microsoft's Annual Report, Made on Macintosh.

Joe Brancatelli: Apple's Driven Me To Wintel. "I gritted my teeth when Apple ran Mac cloners out of business and made us prisoners of one company that controlled pricing, distribution, operating system, and hardware. Yeah, I told friends, it's a monopoly, but.."

Jeff Lewis: New iMacs and Mac OS 9.

MacWEEK: Megahertz Matters.

AP: Boston Beats Cleveland. It's Boston vs NY and Atlanta vs NY. Interesting baseball year!
