Frontier News blog re-start
Monday, December 28, 2009 by Dave Winer.
I've started a new blog to document the root-level work I'm doing in the OPML Editor. 
http://frontiernews.org/2009/12/28/welcome-to-the-frontier-news-blog/
In a way this is not a new blog at all. Frontier News is a very old name in our community. Before there was Scripting News, I had a blog that documented work we were doing in Frontier.
So in a sense this is the continuation of a thread that goes back to 1996 and before that, to the CompuServe forum and support we were doing on AppleLink starting in 1990.
