atomflow
Lots of posts are floating around about Diego Doval's atomflow. I think that Matt Webb's is the best of the ones that I've read because it outlines a possible usage scenario. The general idea of atomflow, or some kind of XML based version of pipes, has been around for a long time. In fact, back in another life, I was involved with a similar project, IBM's XML Productivity Kit for Java, XPK4J, which was another XML pipeline processing kind of tool. (Andy Clark, one of the Xerces-J/XML4J developers was the primary instigator behind it.)
Matt's post described how you could use a suite of components around atomflow to build a highly modular blogging system. It seems tantalizing, mostly because it seems highly automatable. An easily scriptable way of blasting content into a blog/store, munging it, and then getting it back out, is attractive. Perhaps a step along the way to an RSS/Atom based personal information router. Maybe one could mix in a little of this as well...
