			<description>&lt;b&gt;COMPOS&lt;/b&gt;

OK, time to stop fiddlin&apos; with the environment and get back to my project origins.

I want to mix poems from text, audio performance, visual overlays. The composition tools want to be easy at hand, the results want to use networks. I want to collaborate with my friends/peers. I want to allow variations and mods as easily as weblogs, but I really like &lt;b&gt;layers&lt;/b&gt;
more than links. Things that show through each other.

flash and actionscript provide the closest actual behavior, but don&apos;t
provide the organization and control/generation of variations.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flashgap.com/&quot;&gt;jgenerator&lt;/a&gt; by Dimitry Skavish puts flash into an open source server. &lt;a href=&quot;http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/&quot;&gt;Cocoon&lt;/a&gt; lets you set up pipelines of transformations. 

As they now exist they are distinct from weblog sharing. Got to change that.
