"1. There's nothing to delete. The reader view of your outline just takes a param that points to the outline. We haven't created anything for your outline, so there's nothing to delete. Just don't pass the link around. If you already have, then delete the outline, and people will see nothing when they go to the link you sent. 2. You can't delete myname.smallpict.com, but you can certainly delete the outline it includes. The name will stay there. It's not really yours, the outline is yours. 3. The docs for named outlines is on the worknotes site. Still actively in development. http://worknotes.smallpicture.... Dave" - Dave Winer

"Check the Troubleshooting Tips section of the Fargo docs. http://smallpicture.com/fargoD..." - Dave Winer

"Eric Davis posted his thoughts. http://reader.smallpicture.com..." - Dave Winer

"I wish I remembered what that means! This shit is so complicated and convoluted. I guess I'll probably figure it out." - Dave Winer

"I hope that's all it is. I wonder if there's some way to get a better error message from them?" - Dave Winer

"Jorg, maybe Google screwed up the translation, but I didn't say that Fargo heralds a renaissance of blogging. It would be happening even if I weren't doing anything. I do have big ambitions, but there's no need to overstate it to make it sound insane." - Dave Winer

"Thanks! I've been a subscriber of your feed for many years. I want to see if we can get one of the icons of the Mac world to get involved. Having a personal magnet will help the idea grow big quicker. I want to start in the Mac and show other areas of journalism that there's a different way we can do news that isn't dependent on Twitter, that can be much better. I'm thinking a little bigger than just the Mac. Everything I said in the post is true, I'd just add that if there were more news about products I might use, I might become a more involved Mac user. I can't get all my news from members of the Church. I need some other points of view. I'm skeptical of only getting one angle on what's happening. Long-winded answer. Short version: Let's see what happens in the next few days. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"BTW, this is the problem with academics. They have no respect for commercial development and graduate people with attitudes like this. If you had approached this with respect, or at least a little bit of uncertainty, I could teach you a thing or two about this, because like you, I have a graduate degree in Comp Sci, and I graduated with a fuck-you attitude toward lowly commercial developers, but as soon as I shipped a product, I realized they were bullshitting us in school about how easy this stuff is. Anyway, to the substance.. Have you ever watched a movie starting in the middle, and then tried to watch it again, maybe years later, and found that you could practically recite the lines, once you got to the part where you had started viewing? That's the kind of memory we're talking about. Of course the computer should remember all it possibly can for you. But there are tradeoffs. Did you have to organize the material in such a way that the computer could remember? If so, maybe you're..." - Dave Winer

"Yes. Yes I can! But I bet you got an A in that course. Maybe A-plus. How many hit products have you shipped? :-)" - Dave Winer

"CORS works great. Yes, that's what we have in mind, for starters. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Nice! I think it would be a good idea to announce it on the Community Feed as well, since 99.99999 percent of the people who would be interested in this are there. Let's see if there will be any users. And thanks for taking up the invitation." - Dave Winer

"We call it inclusion, and it's in Fargo now." - Dave Winer

"outliver == is like a colostomy bag, but for your liver." - Dave Winer

"Roughly equal length. In my software the limit is 280, seems to work well." - Dave Winer

"news is what's new" - Dave Winer

"Hey rex, who is this Outlibber person?" - Dave Winer

"Very insightful. Much food for thought." - Dave Winer

"For the linebreak feature, it seems we don't have to do anything because the markdown processor will see the two blanks at the end of the line and generate the break. I don't think we can do two linebreaks at the end of a headline because that would make it impossible to specify a title by underlining it, yes? You can have two linebreaks by doing it the same way you'd do it in a flat text editor, just add a blank line. At least that's how this Markdown super-newbie sees it. :-)" - Dave Winer

"We add a \r\n after each headline. So I'm not sure what you mean by "The biggest problem is no line breaks between headlines." I just repeated the test with the example OPML file in the docs, and it worked fine. Would you care to provide a link to the OPML file you were using for your test?" - Dave Winer

"There's no feed for these worknotes as you found out. We're using a template that calls for one. Basically a configuration error on our part. Sorry.." - Dave Winer

"I was writing a reply to this but it got long so I made it a blog post. http://threads2.scripting.com/... Dave" - Dave Winer

"This is exactly the kind of discussion I hoped to have here. I have never used Markdown, so I had no experience to go on. We just released it with nothing extra, and hoped to get guidance from Fargo users with Markdown experience. It would be helpful if we could develop a simple test file that we could run through our processor, and let's see if we can get the output right. Now on to the details. 0.56 is up -- it adds two return chars at the end of every outline node. I couldn't make sense of the second recommendation. It looks like Disqus didn't interpret your text right." - Dave Winer

"Makes sense. The clipboard should handle plain text. Beyond that, how would you envision it working?" - Dave Winer

"Thanks! -- it's nice to have our work appreciated. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"I'd rather it didn't pass through our server at all, and we've asked Automattic to implement their API in such a way that your desktop can talk directly to their server without us having to operate an intermediary." - Dave Winer

"How we know when people post -- the post goes through our server. http://smallpicture.com/fargoD... See the section on WordPress -- we do mention that the posts go through our server." - Dave Winer

"That's almost certainly why Mike was trash-talking RSS. Serving his masters at the big tech companies." - Dave Winer

"1. Can't do it. 2. We don't get the new version, it's not synchronized. 3. Probably." - Dave Winer

"No, this is just useful for writing and editing posts. We're not trying to manage WordPress blogs with the outliner." - Dave Winer
