[Sage] Sage Digest, Vol 42, Issue 2

[unkerjay]

So far, there's only three reader addons I've found that
work with Firefox 3.0b1 or b2:

Brief, Wizz, and NewsFox

Wizz doesn't support (yet) opml import/export
for 3.0

Brief says it does, but, I haven't been able to
get it to work.

Newsfox is just unbearably tedious.

Wizz is probably the closest in functionality
and versatility to Sage, but, without import/export
of OPML (which is coming, I gather) it's a bit of
a pain getting feeds into. And, it doesn't use
bookmarks as it does for Firefox 2.0.

Sage used to be a great little reader.

As the technology moves away from it
and support dwindles, it's on its way to
becoming orphan ware.

I really like / liked Sage.

Is anyone still supporting development?
