Start With XML

So how do publishers stay alive when the business is tanking?

I'm fortunate to be part of a project called Start With XML. Conceived of by Mike Shatzkin, sponsored by O'Reilly's Tools of Change, Start With XML aims to help publishers consolidate costs (so that long tail publishing is more profitable) and monetize content in new ways. The Start With XML team consists of Mike, Ted Hill, Brian O'Leary, and myself.

There are four components to the project:

 - An online survey

 - A research report, which will be made available to all attendees of the forum, and which will be for sale on O'Reilly's site

 - The forum itself - which will take place on January 13, 2009 in New York, with dates to be announced soon for other US locations and Europe

 - The online community

I'll have more info in this week's The Big Picture - you can sign up to get it free here.
