This past week, I've been up to my eyeballs in the delights of RSS feeds. I'm currently for an article and my work to further the MoveableType RSSFeed plugin. I've also been following the rapid fire and some times fierce discussion of how RSS should move forward. Keeping tabs on this discussion has been a full time job. Its been disheartening see such an acute level of acrimony with little relevenance to the mission of RSS. Today the path forward began to come into focus. Here are some of the more insightful, level-headed posts to note.
- Jon Udell: RSS olive branches
- Seth Bokelman: "my tips/demands of web sites that publish in RSS"
- Mark Nottingham: RSS Tutorial for Content Publishers and Webmasters
- Jon Udell: The mission of RSS
- Eric van der Vlist: Time to move along?
- Rael Dornfest: RSS: Let a 1,000 flowers bloom, and all that
My hope is for a social engineering miracle to allow it to happen now.
