Dave’s working on a new module for the OPML Community Server
By Donovan | October 1, 2005
Dave: “I’m working on a new module for the OPML Community Server, and am revisiting a question we answered in Manila and before that in the website framework in Frontier. Should we rely entirely on the physical structure of the data for the URLs, or should we allow the designer to overlay a logical structure, basically rewriting URLs to separate what’s presented to the reader and what the implementor sees. Of course there are tradeoffs…”
As a Manila host and site administrator since around 2000, I can say that I really like being able to construct virtual hierarchies, independent of the underlying structure. It’s a liberating feeling to hack away at the directory structure in a text file. Always back up the file before monkeying around with it of course.
I’m not sure if the module Dave is working on will work like Manila or not but here’s my vote. I hope it works just like Manila handles logical structures.
