    Announcement: APML Open Source Libraries in C#


    In yet another milestone for the APML Workgroup and the APML format, we have published the first open source libraries for loading and manipulating APML files.

    From the site:

    APML will allow users to export and use their own personal Attention Profile in much the same way that OPML allows them to export their reading lists from Feed Readers.

    The idea is to boil down all forms of Attention Data including Browser History, OPML, Attention.XML, Email etc to a portable file format containing a description of ranked user interests.

    These libraries are a result of months of R&D and iteration by the Faraday Media development team and we donate them to the community in the spirit of open collaboration and mutual benefit. They are released under the extremely liberal Apache 2.0 license.

    We encourage anyone who would like to support or modify the libraries to get in touch so we can help in any way we can.

    My thanks to Ashley our CTO and Mike and Paul the two ninja programmers
    who have been involved with the library and the APML workgroup who's
    input has helped to create the 0.6 spec.

    We look forward to seeing what new and interesting projects get created with this resource.

    The repository can be found on Google Code.

  • Source Rankings

    As an Automated solution to this, we could correlate the length of an article with the length of time it stays relevent (I.e. the more content, the longer the decay). So short items are usually more alert tpye stuff (Someone logged into Tangler) where-as long stuff is more in-depth content you want to read any time over the next 7 days and should stay on the ticker longer.
