Frontier code listings in the world outline
Dave Winer
But this begged two important questions.
1. They are all outlines, why not display them as outlines.
2. Since outlines figure so heavily in Frontier, wouldn't it be smart, once and for all to be able to easily display one as an outline if it didn't happen to be a simple outline type?
So I set out this morning to get this right, and it was pretty easy and both goals were accomplished. I'll release the code soon, but I wanted to share the user experience with experienced Frontier folk, as well as world outline newbies.

That's just an example, but you can roam around and get ideas... It's OPML all the way to the bottom where it's ftsc.
