[Bendug] Anyone been to the COWPU MEETINGS?

I agree.  And as much as I like the free-for-all sort of crazy format we
do now, it seems to lead down rabbit trails a lot.  Plus we call mtg's on
a whim.  Scrape together an OpenOffice presentation on lighttpd, and I'm
there!

And I just discovered Quanta Plus, an open KDE web editor that is just The
Bomb!  It's like Kate, but built for XML & related editing.  Man, is it
flippin sweet!  It's here:
http://kdewebdev.org/

And Mark can tell us about XPath/XQuery... I want to know about that...
