It seems that the Radio 8.0 directory has been reorganised to make it easier to find information. This is cool. I think it's easier to find stuff there now, although I may just be getting used to it. I still think that Manila's directory theme gets in the way of good information architecture more than it helps. Think of how the Yahoo! look might help in finding things below the top level faster, for example.

There's another Directory of Radio Resources maintained by Andy Sylvester, much in need of a reorganization. Or possibly organization in the first place. I'll have a go at a better structure myself, I think, and see if it catches on.

It was pointed out to me last week that the XML button on the directory delivers an OPML file containing the entire directory as one outline, that you can then look at in Radio. This makes things a lot easier to navigate. For Manila directory sites that don't have the XML buttons, the way to get at the OPML file seems predictable - for a directory at http://ruminations.weblogger.com/directory/143, the outline is at http://ruminations.weblogger.com/discuss/reader$143.opml.
