There are so many stories that connect together in this one development, I'm going to have to do a podcast to explain (and I will, tomorrow), but in the meantime I wanted to show a rough top-level of the project, and give a brief idea of where it goes.
First, look at any archive page on Scripting News, for example the page for today.
http://archive.scripting.com/2005/09/28
If you look in the right margin, you'll see a box that lists the top level of an OPML directory being edited by Mike Arrington over at TechCrunch. Each of the items in the directory is an article on TechCrunch. I wanted to include his content in mine because I would point to every review he writes, they're all on-topic for Scripting News readers.
When he makes a change to that directory, the box recalcs. When it appears on www.scripting.com tomorrow, it will recalc every time I update Scripting News (that page is statically rendered). If you want you can include Mike's directory in your site, or in your directory through inclusion. It's a normal OPML file, edited with the OPML Editor.
This is, in so many ways, the kind of collaboration I envisioned when I released the OPML Editor. Mike, a lawyer who loves technology, is exactly the kind of person I want to empower with OPML.
