Hello, I'd like to announce a little project that we've been working on for a while at Google and would like the feedback of the Abdera community. We're really excited about the potential of Abdera and have chosen it as the foundation for an open-source Atom Publishing Protocol Server. We hope that the approach we've taken is helpful to those who would like to create read/write Atom feeds for existing data sources.
There are more details below, but I just wanted to give a quick update on where we'd like to go from here. We have lots of plans for the FeedServer, and would like to contribute back to the Abdera project. The FeedServer was conceived as a separate product and could possibly be an Abdera sub-project when it graduates from incubator. We are also considering how we will use it for the Data API portion of the Shindig project. For now, we have a project on Google's Codesite that should give people the opportunity to look it over and offer feedback: http://code.google.com/p/google-feedserver/ We think we have some good docs up on the Codesite wiki. To dive in and see what we've done, we've created an intro to the source code for developers http://code.google.com/p/google-feedserver/wiki/SourceCodeWalkthrough Feel free to discuss here or join the Google group<http://groups.google.com/group/google-feedserver>for the FeedServer. Special thanks to Jeff Pitman, Jun Yang, Vasu Nori, Chris Anderson, Sanjay Baberwal, Jeff Scudder, Brandon Nutter James Snell, DeWitt Clinton and Mark Stahl. davep
