Hi Don, Filtering on keywords is not yet in place for OpenDocument or DITA (News or Blogs) on the dita-staging.xml.org server. The page you saw is just the raw data. http://dita-staging.xml.org/aggregator/categories/4 For filtering we need Seth to install the Drupal New Page module. I did a proof of concept demo of DITA XML filtering on my CMS News site. http://www.cms-news.org/?q=node/6 It does catch my XML CMS column last week (thanks for your plug below). I will get filtering running on DITA.xml.org as soon as I hear from Carol or Seth that the New Page module is installed. I wish I knew how to integrate Google alerts! I use them for my various brands. As far as I know Alerts only come as emails. We would need an RSS feed. A hack would be for one (or more) of us to set up specific Google alerts and then faithfully post a link to one of our aggregated blogs. Any other ideas? Cheers, Bob.

I have been browsing your sample page and cannot see the DITA connection on what I've seen so far.

A first rough draft of the DITA News aggregator is available at: http://dita-staging.xml.org/aggregator/categories/4 We need to set up a "cron" to pull feeds on a regular schedule (every 12 hours?) and then the posts will interleave themselves by time. The page now shows news feeds in the order I manually added them (last in - first out so eWeek is at the top). We will be filtering the feeds on DITA-related keywords, so we need your suggestions for important terms. Cheers, Bob.

Bob's credentials arefartoo extensive for me to even try to summarize in an email. His web site, skybuilders.com, only represents a fraction of what he does now. Bob organizes the DITA Users Group in Boston and has been working withSeth andme to extend the news and blog aggregator functionality on dita.xml.org.Bob isexperimenting with a new Drupal module that will automatically searchselectedRSS feeds for our keywords (e.g., DITA) and post appropriate headlinelinks onour news and our blogs pages. If you are aware of anyone who blogs occasionally (and intelligently)aboutDITA on a site other than dita.xml.org--and whose blog is available via RSS--please let Bob know. As for news sources, we've started off with these: IBM developerworks http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/views/rss/customfeed.jsp Infoworld (standards) http://www.infoworld.com/rss/standards.xml Infoworld (top news) http://www.infoworld.com/rss/news.xml eWeek http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/ziffdavis/eweek/developer CNET http://news.com.com/2547-1_3-0-20.xml Internet news http://www.internetnews.com/icom_includes/feeds/inews/wr-dev-news-10.xml Government Computer News (policy) http://www.gcn.com/technology-policy/index.xml Government Computer News (top stories) http://www.gcn.com/index.xml Zdnet Asia http://www.zdnetasia.com/rss/latest_news.htm?n=10 If you have any others we should add, please let Bob know.
