Authoring Schemas With XSD

Posted by timothy on from the dare-unravels-with-his-usual-aplomb dept.

Dare Obasanjo points to his own "article on O'Reilly's XML.com that specifies a set of guidlelines for authoring schemas using the W3C XML Schema Definition language commonly abbreviated as XSD. The primary theme is embracing simplicity by showing how to avoid the more complex and esoteric features of the language."

    Q: There is a lot of comment that gets posted that falls below the threshold line. How are you developing that technology to deliver comments so that readers get some information out of the boards?

    A: We have a constant problem with people who are trying to break our system for no other purpose than they have nothing better to do--like their bosses haven't assigned them enough to do at work today, or that their mom hasn't made them mow the lawn, in most cases!

      Everyone knows that there is only one officially supported open source business-model proposed by our only gods the free software foundation.

      1) Write free software
      2) ?
      3) Sell anal sex to gay men
      4) Profit!

      Instead of selling the actual software you should sell the service of anal. Just so you know.

  4. Casey Kasem, R.I.P. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard sad news on talk radio; famous DJ and inventor of skratching, Casey Kasem was found in his office at his California golf course this morning. Even if you weren't an avid listener of his radio show, you've probably enjoyed one or two of his TV segments. He will be missed... truly an American icon.

  5. 30 minutes and counting by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    This has been on slashdot for 30 minutes now and we're up to 25 comments (most stories would have been over 100 by now). Slow news day? Are we all asleep? We simply couldn't care less about someone's interpretation on what they think good guidelines are for authoring XSD?

    I'm leaning strongly towards the latter.
