			<outline text="CNN took the link down, at 3:15PM Pacific. Here's a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/cnnLinkingToDeCssSites.gif&quot;&gt;screen shot&lt;/a&gt;, with the link and its value clearly visible. "/>

			<outline text="A story that raises an interesting question, perhaps. "/>
			<outline text="In April 1997 I needed handle-based C code to do base64 encoding and decoding. I looked around the net and didn't find what I needed. So I created the code, using the stuff I found as a starting point. I tested it to be sure it interoperated with previous implementations. "/>
			<outline text="Then I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/midas/base64/source.html&quot;&gt;released&lt;/a&gt; the source code. No license agreement. Also no restrictions on what anyone could do with it. Now here's the question. Is this open source?"/>

HTML directories. This apparently small feature has the potential to route around centralized Web directories such as Yahoo and DMOZ. "/>
			<outline text="It does this by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.egroups.com/message/decentralization/293&quot;&gt;decentralizing&lt;/a&gt;, giving the power to create and join directories to the people of the Internet. "/>
			<outline text="Now the big question is, do they want this power? Evangelism will be a big part of this. Let the evangelism begin!"/>
			<outline text="If you do a directory, &lt;a href=&quot;http://directory.userland.com/index.html&quot;&gt;as I have&lt;/a&gt;, send me a pointer and I'll see where I can link it in. There's a lot of room at the top level, and since I'm &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/images/radiodiscuss/htmlDirectory1.gif&quot;&gt;using&lt;/a&gt; an outliner, it's really easy to reorganize. &quot;;-&gt;&quot;"/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://zopefish.weblogs.com/2000/08/25&quot;&gt;David Brown reports&lt;/a&gt; on progress in connecting Radio UserLand and Zope. He's bringing Zope culture into RU instead of trying to make Zope behave like Manila. "/>
			<outline text="This is totally the right way to do it. I don't want to write for a narrow corner of Zope, I want its real personality to show up in my writing space. "/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$20229&quot;&gt;Tom Fuerstner&lt;/a&gt; and Arne Graesser decided to connect the Palm Pilot to a Manila site. "/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://doc.weblogs.com/2000/08/24&quot;&gt;Doc Searls explores&lt;/a&gt; open source with Craig Burton. As usual, he adds a few twists and delicious food for thought. "/>
			<outline text="I had a long phone talk with Eric Kidd this morning. I thought I was ready to write my &lt;i&gt;What Is Open Source?&lt;/i&gt; piece, but now I want to do some more thinking and talk with more people. There are some things I didn't consider well enough. It'll be worth the wait, imho."/>

		<outline text="Tim O'Reilly">
			<outline text="Thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;http://q.queso.com/&quot;&gt;Queso&lt;/a&gt; for the pointer to Tim O'Reilly's &lt;a href=&quot;http://tim.oreillynet.com/stories/storyReader$61&quot;&gt;response&lt;/a&gt; to my note about their investment in Pyra."/>
			<outline text="Basically Tim posted a longish email he sent to me. Here was my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/responseToTimOReilly.gif&quot;&gt;response&lt;/a&gt;. My point of view hasn't shifted much in the last few days. "/>
			<outline text="BTW, it's nice to see that O'Reilly is still using Manila. I'm sure it is the best software for what they do, and it's my business to make sure that it stays that way."/>
