But more important, we're working on a process that will better incorporate lessons learned from working with users face to face. One step at a time. Today I'm reviewing how membership works in Manila and will make some changes in my server, and make some recommendations for the base product.

Interesting to watch Robert Scoble turn his jets on Microsoft, his new employer, as of May 12. Yes, it would be great to have Microsoft embrace OPML. But sell softly.

By implementing OPML in OneNote they would gain compatibility with network applications that generate and consume OPML, and of course encourage more applications, for which we would be grateful.
