Backend Files

from WinCustomize Forums
Just curious at how many webmasters our there are interesting in WinCustomize backend files that will display news/featured skin/top10skins?

I've been working on creating backend files for other sites and was wondering if there is a general want for me to make these files public.

Also I was looking at the idea of creating a standard DTD for displaying skins. Any thoughts?

Me! Me! I'm probably the only one interested in that stuff though. You could make an xml file with all the data. People using it would have to code up a parser to read it in, but that's not that hard.

What do you mean with "a standard DTD for displaying skins"? I should know that DTD term, but it has slipped my mind.

Doh! Just found out. For those just as stupid as me, DTD (Document Type Declaration) is XML stff: http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp

Perhaps for skins: title, author, section, page_url, description, popularity? (no download link)

I think a download link should be included, just not required. I have a DTD in the works. I need to polish it up a bit before going public with it.
