Yes, I know I really should be working, as I had best get the style sheet support into the mix by early afternoon, but I couldn't resist a few pointers to the hailstorm backlash that is predictably brewing. First up is the lengthy David McCusker message on HTP. "Microsoft swears on a stack of bibles that you will not be
sorry, as far as you can tell at this time." Aaron Swartz has started a yahoo egroup where ideas for an open version of hailstorm are already percolating (doubtless elsewhere as well.) And Dan Gilmore weighs in with his evaluation ("the idea of confiding in Microsoft with my
most personal information is, well, nutty.") Not a lot of love. Probably this is as it should be. Go jabber.
