Meanwhile some serious open-source competitors to Frontier are popping up all around. Especially http://www.plone.org and http://www.infrae.com with their productsPlone and Silva. Both products are Zope based and therefor have two main advantages. They are open-sourced and they are written in a mainstream scripting language - python, which is so much broader accepted and adopted than usertalk. Usertalk will for sure stay a very proprietary language for ever. This is not going to change, definitely. What a pitty.

During the last 3 weeks I lost an enormous amount of posted data. I don't know why , but after beeing really pissed off concerning userland I've decided to go ahead and solve the problem by myself. I will still use Radio Userland but from now on just as an add-on to zope. I've spent hours to get more fluent with python and zope and several weeks later I admit that I wish that python would replace usertalk inside frontier as the implementation language of choice.

Cooperating Systemsintroduces their new P2P software package. Chris Langreiter seems to be impressed !. At least this is another software case which shows the power of outlines for representing complex informations highly structured.

Not very new but still one of the most interesting things on the web:

Rocky Mountain Institute is an entrepreneurial, nonprofit organization that fosters the efficient and restorative use of resources to create a more secure, prosperous, and life-sustaining world.

The E. F. Schumacher Society, named after the author of Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered, is an educational non-profit organization founded in 1980. Our programs demonstrate that both social and environmental sustainability can be achieved by applying the values of human-scale communities and respect for the natural environment to economic issues.
Building on a rich tradition often known as decentralism, the Society initiates practical measures that lead to community revitalization and further the transition toward an economically and ecologically sustainable society.

Ocean Arks International was founded in 1981 by John Todd and Nancy Jack Todd. Our goal was to create an ecological design science and practice adaptable to both rich and poor regions of the world. Our motto is, "To Restore the Lands, Protect the Seas and Inform the Earth's Stewards". Since 1982 our publication Annals of Earth has chronicled the work of OAI and of our colleagues around the world. The Santa Fe Institute is a private, non-profit, multidisciplinary research and education center, founded in 1984. Since its founding SFI has devoted itself to creating a new kind of scientific research community, pursuing emerging science.

Less vision, more execution, please. CNET News.com's Evan Hansen explains why disgraced Internet "visionaries" are in no short supply after staking their reputations on a conviction that digital technology is changing everything, somehow. [http://www.news.com] In contrast, we need vision more than ever, but vision that's based on real creative experience not on marketing considerations or even worse on propaganda.

Gardening is one of my soft spots. I don't practice it, it's just pure theory, but I love it. Reading about gardening can inspire you more than you would ever think. And thanx to the web I don't have to buy anymore this awful expensive books. Despite this, without any doubt our world would also profit much more about innovative agriculture than from all this annoying technical innovations. This is especially true for an already vanished movement called New Alchemy. One of the most interesting aspects of New Alchemy is the idea about solar aquaculture farming.

Sometimes I want to shout out loud: please stop to innovate in this way, instead consolidate!

Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's largest videogame publishers, and Cyan Worlds, Inc., developers of the legendary Myst® and Riven?, today announced their highly anticipated upcoming online adventure Uru?: Online Ages Beyond MYST. Players will have the opportunity to explore and interact with meticulously crafted environments in, around, and beyond the newly discovered underground D'ni empire that predates human civilization. Explorers wishing to help test the game during its beta phase are invited to apply today by visiting http://uru.ubi.com. Will this be the next-generation Myst ? Well, goodby panorama, hello 3D ! It's strange but everytime I read something about Cyan and Myst I feel this Hypercard emotions deep inside me. Just imagine how beautiful it would be if we could script and extend online games with HyperTalk, ahhhhhhhh !
