Apple Previews Mac OS X Server 'Tiger'

For Mac Bloggers, that's great news

Apple Previews Mac OS X Server 'Tiger': "Weblog Server is fully compatible with Safari RSS in Mac OS X Tiger and makes publishing a weblog as simple as checking a box in Server Admin preferences. Weblog Server is based on the popular open source project 'Blojsom' and is fully integrated into Tiger Server with an easy-to-use interface, Kerberos authentication support and LDAP integration. Weblog Server provides users with calendar-based navigation and customizable themes and users can post entries using the built in Web-based functionality or with weblog clients that support XML-RPC or the Atom API."

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things: "At the BlogOn conference, a Microsoft presenter asked his audience how many of them used Internet Explorer:
Probably 99 times out of 100 when he asks that question all the hands go up, right? Well first there was a pause and then a giggle and then a whoop of laughter as the audience looked around and realized that NO ONE had raised a hand. The presenter was thrown off his mark, but he recovered and said, 'Wow! Okay how many of you wish we'd fix IE so you could use it?'

Still no hands...."

I don't think I agree or disagree with your analysis, but I do have a completely different point of view.
Individual, then small groups reflection is the base of Knowledge generation. Once this is done, the next step is confronting points of view in a corroboree context, providing bits of innovation to the community and comparing them to finally adopt the one that better fit to the needs of every one.


This is common is scientific research : thesis grant, lab grant, results presented during various gatherings, reviews, new standards (maybe even theories).


Every aspect of this process was preserved during social evolution probably because every one is necessary. I don't see anyway to choose ONE of them as the central one.


One may not expect Stephen Hawking to teamwork, when there is hardly a few persons able to suit his pace, but may expect him to present his findings to the next congress around. Isn't it ?
On the other hand, 3W commissions are essential to build standards.

Mathemagenic: learning and KM insights - Thursday, June 10, 2004: "Weblog networks as social ecosystems"

Copy of my comment :
Hi there, nice work, even as if you say you haven't invented all of it [your]self you did compiled it !

I would like to add some complexity :

Weblogs are facets of online identities [avatars], the same avatar of an individual may post to different blogs, say oldcola's blah blah, cigare, mybms etc It is an evidence that the same individual may use several avatars, say oldcola, DrDNA, avek etc.

A weblog network serve as an evaluation engine, frequently for recommendation, but some time to point-out in a negative form a site/blog, people to survey rather then network with

TrackBack, Technorati, Common Content etc., tends to help concentrate copies of distributed conversations. As an example, this piece of comment will be present on one of my blogs, and the integral post would be copied as well if a Common Contents allowed it ;-) Think about it.

Connecting with a community is not always necessary, replaced by "creating a community". People present initially on the network don't always preserve a central position, they may even leave the network without it breaking down.

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
