However, I'd like to hear thoughts on it from the Abdera community
point of view. What pieces of ROME are in scope for the Abdera
project? Is conversion either to or from other syndication formats
something that might be a module in Abdera? How about support for
feed extensions such as GData, SSE, iTunes, etc?
Any other generic ideas on a vision for collaboration with ROME? The
differing goals & scopes and all the options for cooperation seem to
make it difficult to get down to concrete ideas on what kind of code
should go where. Certainly I'd hate to see too much duplication
though...
Personally, I'd like to keep Abdera focussed on Atom and extensions
that work with Atom. So GData, SSE, iTunes are all fine, but I have
no interest in expanding into other formats (any of the RSS family,
for example) or protocols (the metaweblog APIs, for example).
As far as collaboration with Rome, I think it'd be fantastic if Rome
decided to use the Abdera parser for their Atom support, but I'm less
interested in merging the two projects since it seems like Rome has a
much larger scope than Abdera does.
All just inmy opinion of course,
