I've been traipsing through various archives while working on an oddball project, largely trying to figure out if anyone had taken the path I'm trying out before. I didn't find anything, which is just fine, but over the course of searching I found myself more and more in awe of the work that Robin Cover's been doing for many years. I liked it so much that I wrote a weblog entry on it: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/2893 There's lots in there about how the Cover Pages have helped us through these dark times where all the promised auto-discovery hasn't yet come to pass, but I think one of my favorite things about the Cover Pages is its quiet style. To quote just a bit from the weblog: ------------------ I suspect the Cover Pages deserves lots of credit for connecting people and programs at many levels on a regular basis for nearly eight years. In PR-speak, that might result in triumphal press releases about "enabling [millions | billions] of [dollars | euros] of [enterprise integration | document management | hacker twiddling] with XML and Web Services." The Cover Pages prefers to describe itself as an "Online resource for markup language technologies" - no small achievement. ------------------ I think Robin gets periodic thank-yous for his work, but I think a few extras are (always) in order. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
