Mark your calendar: November 22. That's the day, barring something unforseen, that OPML 2.0 will move from a draft to a final frozen spec. If you plan to use OPML 2.0, or you're already using it, please set aside a few hours to carefully review the spec, between now and the end of September, or at the latest early October, to be sure it makes sense to you.  We're doing this very slowly and carefully so people will believe in the quality of this spec. If you don't think it's a good spec, now is the time to say why. Speak now or forever hold your peace. You may not like the format, that's not the issue now -- it's the spec we're trying to finalize.  Thanks for your help!

On the PHP-Tools blog, Gerd Schauffelberger has posted about a new PEAR package he's just created to implement the FIT testing protocol.   Testing_FIT is the PHP and pearish version of Ward Cunningham's FIT http://fit.c2.com. As such it provides an easy to use framework for acceptance software tests.    The package is  a simple download and install and gives you four basic fixtures to use Action-, Column-, Row- and Primitve-Fixture (and a Summary-Fixture for stats purposes).

Patrick Chanezon sayz :  "I got some pretty good feedback after my post Java Syndication Babel: let's paint the picture together!, mainly from the Rojo/Feedparser team."  ...  "Then the Rojo/Feedparser team, Brad Neuberg and Kevin Burton posted some good comments. I agree with Kevin that we don't necessarily need a JSR and should start collaborating now. From Kevin and Brad it seems like what we should work on first is defining a common set of Unit Tests, and a way to get a DOM-Rome-like API on top of their SAX-like API."  So check out the list  and the wiki .  Hopefully we'll be able to collaborate and make some forward progress.  I'm sure everyone will benefit.  The more I think about a ne ...
