Slashdot Mirror

Diigo all the way. To me, Diigo's killer features are in annotation by highlights and sticky notes ("Highlight text directly on any web page for personal reference or collaboration" and "Add text, comments or reminders directly on any web page with sticky notes"). Really makes paper obsolete.

Three items that may be of interest:

* A short history of btrfs [LWN.net] (2009) (highlights)
* How ZFS continues to be better than btrfs — Rudd-O.com in English (2012) (highlights)
* Btrfs & ZFS, the good, the bad, and some differences. | www | grep storage (2013)

Diigo seems to work quite handily, but I still prefer Delicious and will mourn its passing. It's easy to export your Delicious bookmarks to an html file and import that into Diigo.

Alternative: http://www.diigo.com/ you can import your delicious bookmarks, iphone/android apps etc

I'm moving mine to http://www.diigo.com/. You can import your Del.icio.us bookmarks once you exported them via https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export @ http://www.diigo.com/tools/import_all. You can also use this https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all to expor it as an XML.

If you happen to know a teacher who believes in social justice and open source lessons plans tell them to contact me at an experimental site I'm about to launch, using FOSS fyi.

Below are 23 mostly free lesson publishing sites for k-12 and University levels. You can contribute to the bookmarks using tags like lessonpublishing if you would like to help.

I'd like to know how many slashdot teacher haters have ever volunteered in a diverse public school or taught 36 kids in a trailer? I have. I've taught grades 6-12 in public schools for six years. It was my second career after working 6 years between Compaq and Macromedia.
By the time the haters finish cheerleading each other on this topic there will be 1000 myths. Barf.

Correct. http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=collaboration&what=Inkscape for some comments.

That's because ODF is under-specified. Let's see how big it is after they add the spreadsheet formula syntax they should have had in the first place. My guess is that it will be over 1000 pages. OOXML includes the specifications for sub-formats, such as DrawingML. And, it includes copious examples. Roughly half of it's size is examples and commentary, *NOT* specification.

Further, when MS submitted OOXML to ECMA, it was 2000 pages in size. The ECMA working group fleshed it out to 6000 pages.

Finally, the amount of calendar time a working group "works" on a standard cannot be adequately compared. Most working groups have comittee members who work part-time, and they're typically lucky if they can meet twice a year when they can align everyones schedules. the ECMA group was motivated, and worked on this full-time. I would estimate that ECMA spent at least 6x as many man-hours on the the standard than OASIS did.

You should read this comment by Gary Edwards, the president of the OpenDocument Foundation. Basically, he says that if MS joined the ODF OASIS TC, then they would have to add all the same functions to ODF as OOXML has, and that Sun would not allow this to happen.
