New Clues

This is the HTML version of the "New Clues" page by David Weinberger and Doc Searls to be posted sometime in early January 2015 at http://www.cluetrain.com/newclues/index.html. These documents are currently in stealth mode. We're trusting you with this.

The text of the New Clues page is posted under a Creative Commons 0 license that puts them into the public domain. Use them as you would like. (Obviously, it would be polite to credit the authors and link back to the original site. )

The files:

  • clues_.html: The 121 clues, in divs with ids indicating their number. This includes the section and subsection headings as well. In the original page, there are three main sections, each with subsections prefaced by letters that start again at "a" for each of the sections. Each sections contains clues that are numbered consecuetively from the beginning of the document, 1-121.

  • preamble_.html: The preamble to the newclues page.

  • style.css: The ugly CSS used to make the ugly New Clues site.

  • newclues.js: Some minimal, homebrew JavaScript for initializing the New Clues page, including number the clues, creating and inserting the embeddable links for each clue, anad randomizing the order of the authors on each viewing. Written by a hobbyist programmer who would prefer that you muffle your mocking snorts.

  • clues_.txt: A pure text version of the clues. The clues are preceded by their number on a separate line. The subsection headings are preceded by a letter. The major sections are preceded by a roman numeral.

  • clues_.json: A JSON version of the clues. Just the text of the clues. No preamble. No numbers. No subheads or hierarchy. No links.

  • newclues_.json: A JSON version of all the text, including the preamble, all the clues, the chapter heads and subtitles, and their hierarchy.

  • newclues_.opml: An outline version with the full text: the preamble, all the clues, the chapter heads and subtitles, and their hierarchy.

  • newclues_.xml: All the text, including the hierarchy and the preamble, expressed as XML. Note, however, that this conversion was done by http://www.freeformatter.com/json-to-xml-converter.html from the JSON; the XML checks out as valid at another site, but it may not be useful. You're on your own.

We look forward to the uses you put these to.
