		<outline text="Directories and Manila">
			<outline text="As I learn more about directories, I realized that I want to first do small directories that are part of Manila sites, before attempting to create a root directory."/>
			<outline text="I want to do a directory for Scripting News while other people in the Radio UserLand community explore directories in their own Manila sites. "/>
			<outline text="While these public small directories are coming online, I will point to interesting ones on Scripting News, get the ideas exchanging, tap into the competitive spirit. "/>
			<outline text="With that in mind, today we're ready to show what we've been working on. It's a new feature for Manila, it allows you to use the Radio outliner to create and edit directories."/>
			<outline text="How to: &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/radioAsAManilaDirectoryEditingTool&quot;&gt;Radio as a Manila directory editing tool&lt;/a&gt;."/>
			<outline text="Here's a &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/directory/3506/regional/northAmerica&quot;&gt;random page&lt;/a&gt; from my example directory."/>
			<outline text="I know it's the day before a major US holiday, so I will repeat all this stuff on Scripting News in the coming weeks. This is an important part of a corner-turn for Radio UserLand. We're hooking the outliner up to Manila, with a documented &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/bootstrappingTheTwoWayWeb&quot;&gt;protocol&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/opmlSpec&quot;&gt;format&lt;/a&gt;."/>

Web Crossing has the built-in ability to act as both an XML-RPC server and client.&quot;"/>

On the other hand, the network has created a high level of online literacy in France, in turn creating opportunities for Internet companies.&quot;"/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.redherring.com/vc/2000/1122/vc-walker112200.html?id=userland&quot;&gt;Good news&lt;/a&gt; for creative freedom on the Internet. Walker was a patent mill, mostly lawyers, a few technologists, their goal was to put roadblocks in front of creativity, patenting obvious things that had already been invented in other contexts. Glad to see it failed to get support from investors. Maybe it's time for a new slogan. &quot;Sometimes it's not as bad as it appears.&quot;"/>

			<outline text="The Florida Supreme Court, if it had been rational and non-partisan, would have cleared up the distinction between &quot;should&quot; and &quot;may&quot; and left it at that. "/>
			<outline text="Without being a lawyer, just a humble member of the US electorate, who voted for Gore, I think the Florida Supreme Court is way over the line, they're trying a coup d'etat. "/>
			<outline text="The US Supreme Court must take this case quickly and overturn the Florida court and validate the authority of the executive and legislative branches of the Florida government. "/>
			<outline text="The talk on TV this morning is of the Florida legislature meeting to reaffirm their power to set the laws governing the election process. I support this. The Supreme Court in Florida is way over the line. They've taken power away from the executive, power that's clearly granted, for good reasons, in the laws of the State of Florida."/>
			<outline text="It's bad. If they had gone the other way, we would be moving forward now, instead of going &lt;i&gt;deeper&lt;/i&gt; into the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=quagmire&quot;&gt;quagmire&lt;/a&gt;.
