Building XML Portals with Cocoon

You all are probably aware of this and excuse me if someone mentioned this before, but I found a new and interesting article on XML.com by Matthew Langham and Carsten Ziegeler, which describe the portal components they built and donated to the Apache Cocoon Project. The donation consisted of components and tools for authentication (originally called “sunRise”) and portals (originally called “sunSpot”). [ More here ]

Web journals could have business value

Quotes from an InformationWeek article on Blogging’s business value [Thanks John]:

“weblogging will be a grassroots movement in business in the same way that, say, instant messaging has been.”

“… there’s built-in motivation for people to participate in blogging: They get credit for their ideas. A blog is essentially a repository of a person’s intellectual capital–a record of their thoughts, observations, contributions. People may switch employers, but they’ll take with them electronic journals of their best ideas. Blogging is a way to protect the most important brand of all: yourself.”

Blogging hits the mainstream, for better or worse

Quote from an article in the SF Gate: “… the blogging world hope that blogging’s personal, collective, man-or-woman-on-the-street approach to newsgathering might breathe new life into stale mainstream media. Clearly, the hundreds of thousands creating their own blogs, as well as the collective millions who read the blogs, are looking for something they’re not getting in the daily paper.” [more here]

Traction: Enterprise Weblog System

Quote from a review of Traction in InfoWorld “THERE IS STILL NO sure-fire recipe for KM (knowledge management) success, but the ingredients must include the staples of the knowledge worker: e-mail, the Web, and Microsoft Office. With Traction Software’s KM solution, content flowing through all these channels is easily captured by the Java-based Traction Server, which can be best described as an enterprise Weblog system . Documents posted to the server are stored as XML, tagged (in a Web interface) with system-and user-defined terms, made available for full-text and structured search, and served back out as team workspaces, enterprise information portals, or both.” [ more here ]

PeerCast

“PeerCast uses the Gnutella protocol as the basis for all communications, and complies (mostly) to the Gnutella 0.6 protocol. It works in much the same way as other Gnutella clients except instead of downloading files, the users download streams. These streams are exchanged in real-time with other users.”
