If you're using FlickrFan, you should have a copy of podcatcher.root in your Tool folder. If not now, at the top of the next hour (launch the OPML app so it can do the update). I want to get started with a small group of people, develop features, and then figure out how to broaden it, if that turns out to be the right thing to do. For now, I just want a testbed to develop, and a group of interested users. I've put together a brief cheat sheet for FlickrFan users. http://codecasting.org/podcatcher/00001.html  If you have a question please post it there and we'll try to get you the answer. Hope it works, and hope you like it.

PHPSurveyor is a set of PHP scripts that allows you to develop and publish online multi-question surveys. In addition to a large range of question types, and presentation methods, PHPSurveyor also allows for survey branching (ie: conditional questions), optional participant control through a token system, and includes the capacity to export survey results to excel or Comma Delimited Files.   PHPSurveyor also provides basic statistical analysis, with optional jpgraph based images.  PHPSurveyor 0.98 Final is the culmination of 15 months of development and expansion for PHPSurveyor since the "stable" release of 0.97final.  The package has undergone significant changes and enchancements, however - importantly - can still be installed over the top of an existing 0.97final installation, and upgraded without losing data.  While this is labelled a "stable" release, indicating that the recent months have been dedicated to bugfixing rather than the development of new features, PHPSurveyor should continue to be considered a development in beta. Although significant testing has taken place, bugs may still exist, and patches for these will be released where possible.  Please note also, that the translations are not complete - english and german are fully up to date (thanks to Carsten Schmitz, PHPSurveyors German Translator) however other languages will need some additional translation work.  Before upgrading an earlier version of PHPSurveyor, always do a full backup of your PHPSurveyor database using phpMyAdmin or another tool.  Hope you enjoy this release of PHPSurveyor. Thanks to all the assistance, words of encouragement, suggestions, bug notifications and general help provided by the PHPSurveyor community.

Patrick Chanezon  blogs  about ROME  and Jakarta FeedParser  "When we started the ROME (Rss and atOM utilitiEs) project last may, we had done a preliminary review of existing syndication libraries in java, and none of them suited us: we try to avoid the Not Invented Here syndrom as much as we can:-)"  "The other day Kevin Burton commented about our Xtech 2005 article submission about Rome that he would submit a paper as well about Jakarta Feedparser. We were not aware of this project when we started Rome: it's hidden in the bowels of the Jakarta Commons Sandbox (I think I did a quick search on apache rss at that time and found nothing meaningful: Google makes you lazy!). Too bad because it l ...

Russ asks: Where's the OpenSocial container API? I love Russ because he cuts through all the BS and gets right to the core, most basic question, and he doesn't care who he pisses off. That's my kind of developer. You can't lie to the compiler, when the bits hit the road, you gotta know what garbage goes in and what garbage comes out.  (Ahh programmer's humor!) In other words, suppose I wanted to compete with Google, MySpace, Plaxo and LinkedIn, well, where's the spec that shows me how to do that? Well, of course I don't know, they aren't communicating with riffraff like me, but I have some experience with this kind of stuff, so I can hazard a guess. If they publish a spec,all kinds of projects will likely get started to enable the API in (just for the sake of argument): Drupal, WordPress, Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, Scripting News (why not add widgets to a random blog), CNN, The New York Times, well you get the idea. There might be lots of implementations very quickly. And that would be it for changes. It would be frozen de facto, they'd have to live with what they have, which given how quickly it was thrown together, probably isn't very good. Not the kind of stuff you'd like to support for the next decade or two. Or maybe they would break everyone, something guaranteed to make them a lot of enemies, much the way Microsoft did, and they were good at migration of APIs.  Google is good at doing AJAXy web UIs, they make users happy, but they're not very good at APIs. This one is a loser, for sure. That's the answer to Russ's question. It's probably not malice that keeps them from releasing details to everyone outside their club, it's pragmatism. They have to try to hold on to it to keep it from becoming even more of a mess than it already is. Just my opinion, for what it's worth. I've been wrong many times before.
