Fame of sorts

Heh -- last night I discovered that Yahoo are using My NewsML modules to power their news.yahoo.com site. The NewsML and NITF modules, the ones I haven't updated in over three years, are running on dozens of machines and their news site would fail if they didn't work!

I feel humble and proud ;-)

Although more on the humble side when I look at the code and realise what a rudimentary state I left it in...!

Weird.

If anyone else out there is using it, please let me know... who knows, I may actually put out another version one day!

Events ML

Something I hadn't noticed before... IPTC EventsML Working Group.

Right now "The project scope is limited to the definition of an information interchange standard for newsworthy event information", but I'm sure they will expand the scope eventually to handle other types of events... I haven't looked into it yet but I hope they're thinking about integration with iCalendar...
