Ryan King has announced that he will continue S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System. I have used S5 a few times in the last couple of years, and really enjoyed it. The web never looks good on a presentation because of the size and the detail it presents. PowerPoint on the other hand, isn’t web friendly for the same reasons the other Microsoft office products are not web-friendly using not standardized HTML and bloating converted files. S5 gives me the liberty of enjoying both world’s standardized HTML files as well as hyper-linking to other sources.
I see the future where Blogging software WordPress and S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System will be mashed up to form a tool where presentation will have comments and trackbacks and really create a discussion.
