Following this year’s Balisage conference, I should probably do a rewrite and update of the whitepaper I presented. It’s on my list of things to do.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I should do an eXist implementation of the version handling system I suggested in that paper. It’s also on my list of things to do.<\/p>\n
But then again, I still have to finish my ProXist implementation, the one I presented at XML Prague. It is (you guessed it) on my list.<\/p>\n
I have lots of good (well, I think so) ideas first presented at XML conferences, many of which deserve (well, I think so) to live beyond them. After all, a lot of work goes into the papers and the presentations, so shouldn’t I follow up on them more?<\/p>\n
My version handling system, for example, should be easy enough to do in eXist. It doesn’t require a revolution, it doesn’t require me to learn how to code in Java, it should be enough to spend a couple of nights writing XQueries and XSLT to produce a usable first version.<\/p>\n
ProXist is both simpler and more difficult to finish, but on the other hand, the basic application is already out there and works. It’s a question of rewriting it to be easier for others to test, which basically means redoing it as a standard eXist app.<\/p>\n
Yet, instead of doing something about either of them, here I am, writing this blog post. It’s conference procrastination taken to yet another level.<\/p>\n
And the next XML Prague deadline is coming up fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
