Of transclusion and "purple letters"

An item on support.opml.org spun off this set of items:

* Purple Wiki, from the folks at blueoxen.com … also a message from collab.blueoxen.net
* Starting Conversations
*An Introduction to Purple” by Eugene Eric Kim, the founder and Executive Director of Blue Oxen Associates (see “Church of Purple: The IDs the Thing” in ”EEK Speaks”, his blog
* resources from Chris Dent
* Simon Willison‘s plinks – a purple numbers variant … Javascript and implementation
* Meatball’s Transclusion page … see also their CollaborativeCriticism and PurpleWiki


A late night find: google’s AJAXXLT – “AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications. Because XSL-T uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSL-T.”


Of implementation and "startup"

So many options! I remember consulting on hardware purchases back in the early 90s … the sort of task that has informed my thinking on “Participatory Deliberation”: in an imperfect world every option closes some doors.

RubyOnRails? Dang … I had kinda ruled that out … but kiko.com has me thinking again. (Kiko’s homepage makes a nice pitch for Web2.0 … and the description of Javascript ActiveRecord states the case for JS very neatly.) And the ActiveRecord project is, well, a pretty good pitch for Ruby itself!


Also of interest: Douglas Crockford on Javascript.
