Introduction

A plug in for text editors, such as TinyMCE and Yahoo's RTE that will allow one to:

• search for items (movies, people, etc.)
• view item data in a form
• convert form to HTML (or other) using templates

Status

Some working code, but a long ways to go

Details

Another way of looking at it is as a replacement for the microformat code generators (such as the hCard Creator), with the following differences:

• it will plug into your HTML editor directly, so you don't have to cut and paste into your posts
• it has an extension architecture, so that you can make forms to create anything
• it has flexible AJAX forms (using InputEX)
• it has flexible client side JavaScript (using Trimpath)
• it's not limited to microformats -- it can generate RDFa or plain text or whatever
• it has a "search front end", so that you don't have to tediously populate the forms yourself

Please see our Wiki for more info, or SVN download the source yourselves. We're looking for contributors who:

• know Python, or wish to help improve InputEX or Trimpath
• are interested in Semantic Web technologies, specifically microformats or RDFa
