Hi Jim :)

I hadn't planned on mentioning this for a while, as I'm not sure how
long it's going to take me to finish, but I've been working on a
"Create-Your-Own" cheat sheet tool.

It allows you to add one URL for each block you want on the cheat
sheet. The URL can be on any server and returns an XML document
specifying the content for that block on the cheat sheet.

Using this, anyone can create a block for their own technology (think
jQuery plugin makers, homegrown CMSes, etc), or for any other
technology they like, and make it available to everyone, and keep it
up to date without needing to have me update a central repository.

To use it, you specify a list of URLs for a cheat sheet. The system
then grabs the URLs and puts them into a doc for you to arrange as you
like. You can save as HTML, PDF, PNG or JPG. Landscape and portrait
will both be supported. All cheat sheets created go into a directory
so others can grab them too.

As I say, though, I'm not sure when it will be completed. There's a
lot to do (and the security aspects are a serious concern), but I will
be posting more about it over the coming months (and of course the
members of this group will be the first to have access to all stages
of the project as it progresses).

Regards,
Dave
