Comment on Zotero REST API: early developments by sgillies.net/

sgillies.net/ — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:01:02 +0000

Raymond, maybe between the two of us we can lobby for a little more REST in the Zotero API. Clients should be following links with well-defined relations to other parts of the API (like in the zotero.org HTML pages) instead of constructing URIs based on out-of-band information like you did in steps 3 and 4 above.

Comment on Creating book XHTML from DocBook by raymond.yee

Fabien -- thanks for reminding me of using wikis here. I had been thinking so much in terms of straight up publishing and then generating a custom web app to wrap the book that I overlook making a wiki.

So "a book that would could interact with my readers, be self-correcting and self-updating." sounds a lot like a wiki. You might want to previous initiatives like Knowing Knowledge, Business Model Generation or Real World Haskell. They are not necessarily what you are looking for since it's, I think, mainly the reverse process : one book by a community generated from a collaborative website.
Instead you might look at Wikipatterns which I think followed the same historical path that you did, meaning a book and then a community companion website.

Good luck,
Fabien Benetou aka Utopiah.

Comment on Learning about JavaScript libraries using the Google Ajax Libraries API by Eric Ferraiuolo

Eric Ferraiuolo — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:12:47 +0000

I wrote a similar article about getting started using Google's Ajax APIs (the hosted libraries and Feed API). I also created a cool little demo to show the power of what you can do with a few lines of JavaScript code when using these available libraries and APIs.
