[019] - SRESI 0.17.8 (Development)
by Priscus (http://freshmeat.net/users/priscus/)
Sat, Dec 16th 2006 03:10
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager. It currently sports both a
command-line and a PHP interface. It works with both the standard
hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was
developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use
Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more
exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final
hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use.
Changes: A forgotten exception in selection parsing is now caught
correctly. The portals now include a single/double column switch, with
cloud outputs always being a single column. The tag cloud now masks
insignificant tags to reduce clutter. Its new limits are built on a mix of
arithmetic and geometric averages. The portal and cloud stylesheets were
tweaked. The tree generation algorithm is now both leaner and faster: the
previous rewrite did not push its logic to the end. Tree branches are now
ordered, with the ordering function being case-sensitive.
