Just in case the page isn't loading. The docs are written in Substance, a novel but yet unstable web-based document-publishing platform. Here's at least the link to the github project ( http://github.com/michael/data ) and the annotated sou

The problem I see with markup, is that for-non technical people it's hard to understand and use. I think they would rather prefer a WYSIWYG-style. Wiki-style-markup isn't for everyone. So that's why I chose WYSIWYG editing, but with restric

Great pointers! What I really want to include in the nearer future is entity extraction. That means that we could send the text-contents of a document to an entity-extraction service (like OpenCalais) in order to get back a list of entities

Not yet. You mean exposing an endpoint that allows you to replicate documents a certain user owns? Like the idea! There's already some synchronization/replication taking place but on a higher level. That's trough Data.Graph#sync ( https://g

That'd be terrible. Can't reproduce it though. Which browser were you using?

Sure you can compare it to a Wiki/CMS in some way. Importantly Substance is a Semantic Editor, that means you're editing Content, not the visual representation. Documents are expressed as data (as far as possible).

Ahh you're not the first one — it's probably too big ;-). Will change that. The startpage needs some reworking.

This is a planned feature. We'll use LaTeX to render proper PDF's. We'll also add images along with other content-node types.

The prelude certainly needs to be improved, and so does the whole system. It's an open source effort, and largely driven by a one man force. This is just a first 'official' snap-shot dedicated to the developer community to get the discussio

Source Code is at Github: https://github.com/michael/substance This first release (0.1.0) is considered a Developer Preview. However given a webkit-based browser you should already be able to use it seriously.

A major problem with RDF is that it is almost impossible to build applications on top of it. You'd need another layer of abstraction to handle the complexity. I really like the approach Freebase takes. It’s a proprietary format, basically.

Just had a little discussion at #documentcloud regarding UI components (in terms of ui-widgets) that can be implemented using Backbone.View in very efficient ways. Here's just an example of a MultiString editor, that we're using for our doc

So true! I've also discovered for myself that keeping a one-page document, serving as red thread makes everything so much easier. However at some point I wasn't satisfied with the options a regular REAMDE offers. I wanted to write such a do
