XpdBlog

XpdBlog is an experiment to see if there's any value in aggregating interesting xp/agile related entries from various people's blogs. Unlike XpDayAggregator where we were discussing fancy hi-tech aggregation tools this page is simply a list of links in reverse chronological order. People are invited to add links to relevant entries. I shall be adding entries till (a) it becomes obvious that it's not useful or (b) someone comes up with a better idea.--ade

AgilePlanet might be that better idea.--ade
