> What are pods, and is there a way to find the latest collection of them?
I'll try to answer your questions in order:
1. PODS is not a "thing" it's a system I'm designing. It's
tentatively called the Palm Open Directory Syndicate. I've been
designing it since back in about January or so. It's basically a
dmoz.org style directory heirarchy of Palm-formatted content and
urls.
I've currently got ~600 unique URLs in there now (not
full-browser-style websites, these are all specifically made by
the various website maintainers to be formatted for Palm
consumption).
I'm trying to give the system a bit more intelligence so users
can create a profile, pick a sync output format (html, DOC,
Sitescooper, Plucker, zTxt, whatever) and then sync their
selected sites to their Palm. As I come across new URLs, I insert
them into the database (all of these sites are all hand-scraped
by me and put into the database). It's currently mysql + perl
driven, but Rasmus gave me a hand and whipped up a nice quick php
front end onto it about a month back.
It's interesting to note that after I mentioned PODS in my
Advogato diary back in March, our "friends" at AvantGo have now
launched a project with the same EXACT name:
http://avantgo.com/developer/reference/pods/overvie3.html#929826
These are not competing projects, nor are they similar in any
way, other than the name itself.
2. No.
