I read the article and have a similar analysis but a different
conclusion. Collaborative knowledge definitely has a big future
although I'm doubtful that it will take the shape of tricked out
blogs.

The one I wrote of course ;-) I wrote it about 5 years ago before I

perl, but it works more or less. The completely unused weblog on
galatea.org uses it.

I'm pretty sure you can do all sorts of stuff like that. I haven't
tried much of anything yet, knock yourself out and see what can be
done.

Wouldn't actually be that hard to cut and paste them over
either...
