Subject: [Ldsoss] Call for Open Meta Standard


I can't think of a better name to call this, so I am naming it an
"open meta standard".  The idea is this: we should be able to markup
documents, such as scripture readers like MarkMyScriptures, save the
markup, highlights, and notes in an open format, and then apply that
markup into other documents with the same content.  So with
scriptures, it would be cool to be able to take my markup from
MarkMyScriptures on my PDA and apply it to scriptures.lds.org, for
example.  The possibilities for such a format are endless - I'm
curious as to what ideas the group may have on this, and if there is
something already out there I should be promoting to get other
application developers to adopt.  Please see my blog post today for
more details (sorry for the blog spam - just easier to post details in
one place and discuss here than post twice):

Let me know your thoughts, and how we could promote this and get
something like this going!
