Anything we might addrress in the Rev interoperability initiative? <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/>
Sounds like a great idea! Jerry Daniels will soon be releasing a whole slew of altPlugin enbabled productivity tools for Rev. The more, the merrier :-)
Precisely. The growing number of tool suites in the Rev community is what led to the creation of the RevInterop initiative.
Currently each toolkit uses its own method of identifying the info needed for updates, integration, etc., but if we could take the time to draft one universal standard then all tools could ideally be fully interchangeable without futher modification.
The initial rought draft identifies a number of common elements needed by all plugins, including author, copyright, URL, and more. Since most of these types of data were already identified by Dublin Core, we've light-heartedly adopted the name of "Edinburgh Core" for these properties.
That initial rough draft and a sample library stack with placeholder properties are available at:

All input from plugin developers is appreciated. No such initiative can be useful in a vacuum. :)
