I'm pleased to announce that Scripting News is now available in OPML, in addition to all previous XMLizations.

Advantages of OPML 

An advantage of OPML over other forms is that aggregators get the structure of the document, so they can tell when a set of comments are part of a sub-outline, and should be grouped together.

It's also possible to add attributes to individual items, so if people who are doing aggregations, I'm open to suggestions. Before we roll the feature out on other Manila sites, I want to see what improvements, if any, are possible on the aggregation side.

Note that this new feature should address many of the problems people have encountered with Scripting News in various other forms. Same with Doc Searl's weblog (he also writes in the Radio outliner).

Location of OPML files 

They are all contained in this folder.

There's a file that always contains the current contents of Scripting News.

Back issues are maintained in a calendar structured folder. The archives date back to 7/20/00.

Here's the OPML for September 11.

This is a Manila site.
