dive into mark

Ben Hammersley: FOAF to vCard. It’s so alpha as to be almost pitiful, but this widget may well give you a vCard file from a FOAF file. You can then import the vCard into Outlook, OSX AddressBook and any other vCard compatible app.

Meanwhile, Merlin Mann, in email, states Most folks’ eyes (understandably) glaze over when I start rhapsodizing about RSS self-discovery and Amazon APIs. But it’s pretty cool if you say, “People who visit your home page can instantly know you went to college together and now live in the same town.” That’s transparently pretty neat.

To that end, I’ve put some more information into my FOAF profile, including foaf:schoolHomepage (Earlham), and foaf:currentProject for information about my current projects (Dive Into Python, Dive Into OS X, Dive Into Accessibility). I’d like to use the Creative Commons framework to specify the copyright information for each of these projects, but I can’t quite figure out how to specify that a project is governed by the GNU Free Documentation License. Let’s see, who’s the guru with this stuff? Aaron, I think. Must ask Aaron.
