Okay, my April Fools jokes are terrible, it's really only been one year since I completed the first version of the software that drives Web Developer Resource Index and started adding reviews. And what a year. I was hoping to make it to 1000 resources today, but fell a little short. There are 955 as of this post. Too many irons in the fire I suppose.
Like most software, the system evolved. One of the first features I added were RSS feeds for every category. This was quickly followed by an OPML of the whole directory. You can even extract the data as RDF if you want to. Initially, each resource was marked up with valid XHTML 1.1 (like the rest of loadaverageZero). Later, I adopted the hReview Microformat, which, to the best of my knowledge, makes DRX one of the largest examples of such reviews on the Web. Every resource is tagged with one or more keywords, so a tag cloud provides another interesting point of view.
Today I thought I'd take the opportunity to look back at that first week, and list 20 selections. I guess you could call this the polar opposite of Recent Additions.
