Why Pick XForms?
This is essentially a snapshot of today's talk at the Gilbane conference.

So why should you pick XForms vs. some non-XForms system?

1) The uninstaller argument
If you had two functionally similar pieces of software, one with a great uninstaller, and one with a tedious/manual uninstall, which would you install first on your own system? I thought so. Ironically, having a great uninstaller gives users peace of mind, making them *less* likely to actually uninstall the program. Open standards, with the associated non-lock-in, have the same effect.

2) Cost of change
Another way to look at the lock-in situation: even a mid-sized organization can have 1000 forms around. If each has a design/production/review cycle of 8hrs, that's an investment of 4 Man-years. Does it make more sense to invest that much in a single-source solution, or something that could be reused/shopped around? If you have a dozen forms, go ahead and try anything. For serious amounts of, use standards.

3) Metadata needs standards too
Forms are metadata. It doesn't seem obvious at first, but it's true. Forms provide a context and interpretation for a core piece of data. Metadata needs to be standardized as much as regular data, maybe more.

4) Choosing your point on the continuum
It's not like you can draw a black and white diagram of "standards-based" and "non-standards-based" software. It's all shades of gray. The flipside of this is that useful standards support isn't a checklist feature. Lots of forms systems have long lists of individual standards supported, but still use a proprietary layer that effectively negates many of the usual benefits of open standards. You have to pick the point on the continuum at which you are comfortable. -m

NeoOffice/J
NeoOffice/J 0.8.2 is highly recommended if you're on OS X. It has tons of scary this-is-beta-and-might-not-even-work warnings, but it does. It seems snappier, looks somehow better (is it the font smoothing?), the command/ctrl keys work like you'd expect (not reversed, as with the X11 version), and it works better for drag-n-drop opening files. -m
Seeing XForms Inside Out
At the O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland, come see my presentation Seeing XForms Inside Out:: Inside an XForms Validator (Thurs July 29). Whether you're just learning about XForms, or been working with it already, you will find some interesting insights by looking at XForms from the perspective of a validation tool.

If you can make it for the full week, I also have a half-day tutorial on Monday (July 26). Check it out! -m
Unipain
Interestingly, Jon Udell's latest column at InfoWorld has the following title: "InfoWorld: E-mail’s many hats: April 23, 2004: By Jon Udell : APPLICATIONS". (because this will likely get mangled further in the publishing stream, that's a-circumflex, then two of what looks like an A-in-a-box instead of the apostrophe in "E-mail's".

Unicode is hard. Even if your content is fine, chances are good that your content management or publishing system will come in and muck things up. Actually, Unicode isn't what's hard--if the whole world used it exclusively we'd be sailing smooth--what's hard is transitions between encodings. Throw in a few unhelpful substitutions by Microsoft Office's aggravating, so-called "smart quotes" features, and you've got a mess on your hands.

Update: More related discussion. But not directly related. The web page is still titled oddly, as above. Also, interestingly, RSS readers and Atom readers see the above differently. Which just goes to show...
Superfast Search
Has anyone written a search engine that, by virtue of blinding speed, plus using a few tricks like client-side XMLHTTP, can provide preliminary results in the browser *before* the search query is submitted? -m
DiDuca seeks to decrease role of government

Joe DiDuca, Paradise Town Councilmember and candidate in the District 5 supervisor race, is wary of government's intrusion into the private sector.

X-CP
Here's an interesting new Internet specification. Actually, I haven't looked at it in the slightest, but it has an 'X' in the name, so it must be good. -m
