BMS/BML: about blogs, XML and Open Source...

Hello everybody,

Rather then spam entire communities with my announcement I create separated topics in communities that might be interested.
Following a relatively short and mainly solitary reflection on Blog Management Systems (BMS), I came to the conclusion that a common markup language should be a great improvement both for BMS internal functions and for migration from a BMS to another.

The bases of such a Blog Markup Language (BML) are created and were presented at the 2004 Libre Software Meeting at Bordeaux, France.
The audience was astonishingly small for such a subject and a few, if any, collaboration is expected.
I decided to seek interested persons through the Web rather then during meetings.
The subject is to create and promote the BML as an Open Source initiative.
People with blogging experience and at least basic knowledge of XML are welcome, as XML freaks even if they never blogged before.
A blog was set-up to discuss about BMS/BML and is accessible at [link=mybms.blogspot.com]myBMS[/link].(next postings will be exclusively in english)
The door will be open for anybody, but three levels are to be considered:
[b]Everybody[/b], may contribute through Comments, without any previous registration
[b]Members[/b], first selected by me, then by collegial approval, will be invited to be able to post at the blog
[b]Administrators[/b], will be those that will express the will and gain the confidence, to really administrate the blog and the subject.

My personal will is to be gradually replaced by more competent person.

I invite those of you who are interested to contact me by mail (oldcola@club-internet.fr) and comment this thread.

Best regards
