I automated the creation of this blogroll by transforming the opml of my blog reader with the following xquery
declare namespace loc = "http://test.org/";
declare function loc:string($t as xs:string) {
$t
};
<html>
<body>
<dl>
{
for $outline in //outline
order by $outline/@title
return
<span>
<dt><a href="{ $outline/@htmlUrl}">{ loc:string($outline/@text) }</a> - <a href="{ $outline/@xmlUrl}">{ loc:string($outline/@version)}</a> </dt>
<dd>{ loc:string($outline/@description) }</dd>
</span>
}
</dl>
</body>
</html>
I then had to edit a bit of the generated html by hand to make it presentable.
Thanks to the Oxygen editor for making this really easy to do.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.

I guess this means that I must blog about KiWi more often - that way at least SOME of our blog posts are going to end up in your semantic blog roll.

Yes that is probably the best for now :-)
Longer term I would like to have a feed reader that gathers information from all of my friends foaf files and automatically subscribes me to their feeds. Instead of publishing a blog roll, I suppose I would publish a top 20 most read feeds. But then again, presumably some good aggregator feeds would end up there more often than others. So you win by being in popular aggregator feeds.
Hmm, I used to be on planetrdf once...
