We added a new feature yesterday (well, it's almost finished :o) - a special terse listing for all the external links in a weblog. This allows a weblog to act as a shared-bookmarks collector; members post blog entries about external sites, giving them all the power of blogging to draft and edit their posts, but can also view the external links as if they were resources in a shared bookmarks repository.
One of the main aims of knotes is to create good interfaces for resources: for the collection, annotation, discussion and tagging of links, files etc which members want to share among themselves or provide as a repository service. So far, we've had to concentrate hard on the basics of blogging in collaborative contexts, but for the big port of the SIGOSSEE site, we realised that we had to provide at least the beginnings of a resource-centric interface. See the Open-Source in Education - Links and Resources weblog for an example. There is much work to be done yet, of course. We have not done anything about file resources, or for special search interfaces for 'resources'. But this is a step forward which we're hoping will allow SIGOSSEE members to really start adding and sharing link resources. |
