RE: XML.com relaunch

Can you say more what you have in mind by "drifting"? And "XML toolchain"?

The XML on display in that git repo is just like the XML I write for my site. I even use the file extension ".page". The whole thing is pure XML, with some XSLT and XQuery to generate XHTML and SVG. Soon I'll be adding some Schematron for some structural testing. I defined and refine the XML vocabulary to suit my writing (thinking, working) style. It's not DITA. I use makefiles to build, test, and publish everything.

Is that drift?

Best regards,

Jesse

C is an old programming language too, but still useful in the right
context. I don't think there's anything better than XML (by which I
include related standards such as SGML) for complex, hierarchical
documents with archival value.

E.g. is ~XML 'drifting'.
Trying to use a project today, I found the XML at
https://github.com/pitivi/pitivi/tree/master/help/C
somewhat odd.
DITA? No (or at least I don't think so)
XML toolchain? No (or at least I don't think so)
Uses https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Yelp/Tools which is (yet another)
toolchain.

NIH keeps nagging at me.

XML must be getting old Lauren!

I've relaunched XML.com (for some background, Tim Bray wrote an
article here: https://www.xml.com/articles/2017/01/01/xmlcom-redux/).
I'm hoping it will become part of the community again, somewhere for
people to post their news (submit your news here:
https://www.xml.com/news/submit-news-item/) and articles (see the
guidelines at https://www.xml.com/about/contribute/). I added a job
board to the site as well (if you're in Berlin, Germany, or able to
move there, look at the job currently posted; thanks LambdaWerk!); if
your employer might want to post XML-related jobs please email me.

The old content should mostly be available but some articles were
previously available at two (or more) locations and may now only be at
one; try the archive list (https://www.xml.com/pub/a/archive/) if
you're looking for something. Please let me know if something major is
missing from the archives.

XML is used in a lot of areas, and there is a wealth of knowledge in
this community. If you'd like to write an article, send me your ideas.
If you have comments on the site, let me know that as well.

cheers,

Lauren
