[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Announce: XSL and XML Archives
ActiveState has a web-based information service known as ActiveState Programmer Network (ASPN). The free version -- ASPN Open -- is currently being extended into a comprehensive source for free XSL information. This message describes one of the most interesting XML/XSLT related features of ASPN Open: the archive of major XML and XSL-related mailing lists. This includes a single search interface. A search of "namespaces" turns up posts on xsl-list, xml-dev and lists related to specific implementations of XML. I can see from that search that namespaces are (as always) a hot topic on both the XML and XSL lists. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/search?query=namespaces&type=Archive_XSLT Let's choose a random message to give a sense of other features of the archive: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/687373 By Rick Jellife's name (sorry Rick!) you'll see a feature to allow you to get the list of posts he has made since we started archiving. Click on "other posts by this author". Once you get back to the message, you can see its complete thread context at the bottom. At the top is a fun but mostly useless feature that allows you to see who has been busy on the list (called "leaders)". http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Leaders/xml-dev/ Surprisingly, my name is still in the top ten despite the fact that I have been quiet on xml-dev for a while. That shows how much I, er, "contributed" in the past. Simon St. Laurent and Len Bullard are in close contention for first place. Going back through Len's archive is quite a mind-bending experience. And Simon's archive shows a definite passion for the human implications of technology! http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/ByAuthor/xml-dev?author=clbullar@i... The "recent" link at the top allows you to catch up on a list that you've unsubscribed from (e.g. after a vacation). The "archives" link lets you browse historical stuff. I hope this service will be useful to the XSLT and XML communities and I would also like to see it grow and become even more useful over time. Please submit your suggestions and bug reports to me or to the ASPN team. If you are interested in XSLT, please also take a look at the companion announcement on the XSLT Cookbook: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/xsl-list/755730 -- Take a recipe.
