:_)... that was me posting from JavaOne... for some reason they had
Netscape configured to ALWAYS post as "Demo User" and I didn't know it
was forced on me :)... funny though :)

I brought this up at the Open Source EJB BOF at JavaOne last night... 3
Open Source EJB projects?  Not a good idea :(

Check out isyndicate.com.  They syndicate content from CNN, Reuters,
etc.  But they only do this for $$$.  It would work for Open Source but
only if there are more XML data syndicators that are "Open".  Open
Content will take a lot longer to happen than Open Source :(
