Maybe I should take the opportunity to point out

   http://topicmaps.bond.edu.au/weblogs.mc

[ I think Lars mentioned it a while back. ]

Saying this, the blog/weblog thing (Lars' idea) is now running 
pretty fine in auto-mode which means that we could now try to
extend this to more authors.

How does this work?

If you want to share bits and pieces and TM sightings with the
rest of the community, you simply have to create a weblog (aka
blog entry). There are many ways to do it, we currently use
either:

   (a) www.blogger.com: You sign-in, create one weblog with
       your account such as

       http://drrho-tm.blogspot.com/

       You then simply mail me the account to allow the server
       topicmaps.it.bond.edu.au to download the blog as XML
       document. Here we merge it into one blog (blog syndication).

   (b) You create some custom XML format (manually, automatically)
       like Lars has done at

         http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/irc/ircblog/blog2.xml
         http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/irc/ircblog/blog.xml

       and let me know its location. I simply use XSLT to merge 
       it with the total stream.

Synchronisation currently happens every hour.

If you have a different idea, plz let me know.
