Apple has four new RSS feeds. Thanks to Steven Garrity for the pointer. [Scripting News] 7:16:14 PM

Matt Carter at Fawcette sends a pointer to their new RSS feed. He says it contains "all of our magazine articles, online stuff, code, interviews etc, updated twice a day." The subject of the message is Bandwagon Jumping. The bandwagon here is Microsoft, and I think I must write a DaveNet piece about this. A remarkable movement, and a remarkable move by MS. They didn't reinvent RSS as they jumped in. This is a new idea for a BigCo. Of course there's still plenty of time for them to reinvent it. Praise Murphy! [Scripting News] 7:14:45 PM

Fusebox OpenForums:"The idea of this project is to provide a free (as in beer) Open Source forums application, compliant with the FB3 specification. The project will remain free, and from the initial codebase I will continue to add features and extensibility whenever possible - please jump in with your requests, suggestions and any code / patches - I'd like to make openForums as feature rich as possible, but while still allowing all extensions to be optional for the developer." 5:56:09 PM
