OPML editor progress in a thunderstorm

“A hugely dramatic thunderstorm godcast, with an update on progress with the OPML editor, and a roadmap through next week and beyond. Only 11 minutes. Pretty cool!” Dave Winer was coding at his computer when a severe thunderstorm started outside, with large thunderbolts shaking the house. Despite the distractions, Dave continues working on releasing a new outliner tool, which a small initial test group of users had been trying out and providing feedback on. Dave explain that he is not aiming for perfection, but rather wants to fix the major “deal stopper” issues that would prevent users from being able to effectively use the tool. He plans to continue iterating on the outliner and then build additional outline-based applications like a blogging tool, in order to attract more developers to contribute to the project and build a community around the platform.
