wikiriver.org is flowing nicely
By Dave Winer on Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 3:16 PM.

A picture named moon.jpgI found it hard to get a handle on all the news about Wikileaks, so I attempted to do something about it.  #

The result is wikiriver.org.  #

It updates every ten minutes with all the latest WikiLeaks news, or more frequently for news from realtime feeds. #

We still need more feeds, so if you know of a good one that we're missing, please post a link as a comment to this post. #

Our OPML subscription list is public. #

I am hand-curating a feed to supplement the river until we get all the feeds we need in the mix. #

The effort to create more visually pleasing rivers is going really well. Martin Duffly published a howto, and we have a developers mail list going to share know-how. This work is based on the JSON and static JSONP rendering of the various rivers I'm hosting. #

I'm using the River2 aggregator running in the OPML Editor.  #

In addition to HTML, the content is also available in JSON, static JSONP and as an OPML subscription list.  #

You may include the content from wikiriver.org in your site, but please point back to wikiriver.org.  #

If you're working in a news organization on WikiLeaks stories, I am developing a new editorial tool for managing rivers like wikiriver.org. Get in touch if you're interested in collaborating. We'll be working over the holidays, in NYC. (Often a very productive time of year.) #

I have more features in mind, as this moon mission project continues. :-) #
