Truncated posts is controversial enough that I would think I won't be doing it. Some of MJ's ideas sound really good as interface ideas. I probably wont' personally be hacking the planetplanet software to do it though. If someone else wants to, raise your hand! I will try to find time to upgrade to the latest version of planetplanet, that Keven Clarke alerts us is available and called 'venus'. Perhaps it already has those features. Not sure when I'll get to it though--if someone else wants to work on installing the new software, raise your hand. :) Jonathan MJ Ray wrote: > Jonathan Rochkind <[log in to unmask]> wrote: [...] > >> Other blogs people have suggested I remove from the code4lib aggregator, >> as consisting of mainly nontopical content for code4lib, are Mark >> Lindner and Meredith Farkas.
