Kevin -

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but my mail has been down for the
past couple of days and I lost what didn't make it through so I had to look
through the archives to find your reply.

I can't open up the entire code that I wrote but I should be able to break
out the necessary pieces which I think will be very useful.  What sort of
'thing' were you planning on using for the OCS subscription piece?  Maybe I
could write that using the pieces from my harvester.  You mentioned possibly
a Turbine service for this, is that still the direction you want to go or
something else?

If you XSLT this XML spec you can use the OCS subscription channel when
it is done.

This is one strong reason to have Cocoon support.... WML

I have to write one soon for OCS content subscription. However it might
be cool to look at your code if you can open it.
