[Ngoid-dev] Message to xml-dev community

ANN: Next Generation Open Internet Directory – An Open Data/Source
project

I would like to announce the Next Generation Open Internet Directory –
An Open Data/Source project.

We hope to build a virtual database of information that is open for
everyone to use. More details are at http://i3connect.net.

This is an application platform project that is using XML as a
transfer format on top of HTTP. We are looking for help in the XML
community to build up the core protocols for the directory. Xml-dev is
looking to solve similar problems with the ‘foreign names’ thread.

We know that this is a big and maybe crazy effort, but as the old
proverb goes: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I am happy to take the first step with the xml-dev community, a place
where I learnt more about xml then anywhere else. But if they are any
errors in the web site, that’s my fault and should not reflect on the
xml-dev community ;-)

Thx,
Ashvil
