Starting Leukippos
Given that Leonardo has web-based editing, I'll need some kind of web-based Atom Protocol client once Leonardo is based on Demokritos.
I've been toying for a while with writing an AJAX-based Atom client. The natural name for it would be Leukippos. (Leukippos was the teacher of Demokritos and co-originator of the Greek idea of atoms.)
Anyway, tonight I made a start. My first version of Leukippos retrieves an APP introspection document via XmlHttpRequest, parses it to retrieve the workspaces and collections and allows a user to click on a collection to retrieve it.
I'm not finished collection feed parsing yet, but once that's done and I've prettied it up a bit with CSS, I'll post it here.
My ultimate goal would for it to function something like TiddlyWiki but, of course, with Atom Protocol support (an idea I've mentioned before).

Minti Launched
On Monday evening I had the pleasure of meeting Clay Cook and his wife Rachel. Besides being successful Web entrepreneurs, they're super-nice people.
They've just launched their latest venture, Minti, which is a parenting advice site with user contributed articles, rating, tagging and all that Web 2.0 goodness.
Check it out: http://www.minti.com

Demokritos 0.3.7 Released
Last week, Dave Johnson mentioned that he'd successfully posted from his blogging client MatisseBlogger to Demokritos. It was a great interop session on #atom and Joe Gregorio also provided automated testing against Demokritos.
Thanks to both Dave and Joe I was able to make fixes to Demokritos. I didn't do a release immediately, but here it now is:

This version has successfully worked with two independent clients now, so it's getting into reasonable shape.
The upcoming 0.4.0 release will include authentication.
