hi,
currently working on a proto RSS reader. Developed sort of a kind of feed
groups + feeds concept that I use. anyone interested in discussing such a thing?
you can finda sample at http://www.hack-space.biz/feeds/
thank's

Define some dt value extensions for XOXO; declare victory. Example, that describes the tree based content of a 'category':

http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/health/hospital-services/atom.zip*

it deals with the fact that feeds are flat, and some people need to describe trees. I'm sure you could do something similar for lists of feeds very quickly.

Fwiw I looked at OPML for this last year, and concluded:

 - it wouldn't support i18n cleanly

 - it wouldn't support large text blocks cleanly

- all that escaping due to attributes would be annoying to people downstream (generally putting all content into attributes is silly)

 - it's too arbitrary in terms of extension

- when you show people XML instead of (X)HTML, it becomes an IT project instead of a quick win

- not requiring anything other than a browser to look at some content is compelling.


* btw, you can add "/entry.xml" to a URL underneath "/categories" on that site and get the content as an Atom entry. It's backed by Plone.
