Yellow is the New Blog

Rocky submitted an idea requesting that IBM finish the job of DXL completeness and round-trip fidelity. For what it's worth, I was the one who asked for that at "Ask the Developers". It was cool to see Bob Balaban support us on this, both by standing and joining the applause when I asked the question, and by publicly asking his boss to give him the resources to make this happen. Since IBM watches ideaJam as one way of measuring community support for feature requests, go promote Rocky's idea if you haven't already. For bonus points, leave a comment explaining why you support this; the current weighting system takes both net promotion count and number/age of comments into account when determining popularity of ideas, so the more comments and votes it receives, the longer it will retain its current status of top idea.

For the longer term, I created a BleedYellow community called "DXL Fanatics" and will occasionally be posting bookmarks of interest as I find them. Please join if the community name aptly describes you. I suspect it'll start out as something of a "support group", but as (not if... I'm opting for optimism) IBM continues to mature this API, perhaps this will be a gathering place for some exciting innovation.
