hello nikunj.
Recent discussions on the atom-syntax mailing list has revealed interest
in creating a new WG to look at several extensions of Atom. Here are
several extensions that have been discussed:
1. Hierarchy operations including meta-publishing
2. In-line representation
3. Bi-directional text
Please respond to this email if you are interested in helping to explore
a new WG further. Please also identify if you have a specific interest
area to consider for a potential new Atom WG.
i'd be interested in exploring the idea of a new WG. i think that more
and more people are exploring Atom outside of its national habitat of
blogging and newsfeeds, and it's essential for the continuing success of
Atom to try to find a good balance of an increasingly diverse user base,
and some consensus to avoid a partly overlapping and inconsistent set of
extensions.
my specific areas of interest are geolocation, and how to make feeds
queryable. both of these issues are currently more research areas than
immediate specification goals (and GeoRSS for location is good enough
for the moment, although some clarification or best practices document
for it might be a good idea).
cheers,
