Hey Folks,
Just finished up an IM conversation with DonXML and he pointed me to this list SourceForge list as the proper entry point to begin discussions regarding the potential integration of a project that has already been started that is focused on bringing layered support for the Atom web feed format into the MS RSS Web Feed API/Platform.
This conversation originated as part of a thread started on the Atom syntax mailing list, and after a query as to whether or not the XML-MVP group would be the proper folks to work through in regards to bringing this project closer to the MS metal, it became apparent that yes, in fact the XML-MVP's would be the correct and proper avenue to take in this regard.
As such, here I am :D Hi everyone, how are ya :)
A quick overview:
The project is currently hosted as part of my UnderstandingAtom&RSS project [http://trac.understandingatom.com/]. If and when the time was right, however, I would happily help make the transfer from the existing site to the
SF.net XML-MVP site if you all feel this is something you would like to be a part of.
I can assure you as much of my own time as necessary, and my guess is that there are others in the Atom community (cc'd on this thread) who would also like to participate if this was something that was deemed appropriate by both the MVP group as well as the MS legal channels. If neccessary the majority of the development could happen outside of the MVP group, and at an appropriate time, transfer this to the MVP's to handle from there.
In other words, whatever it takes to turn this into a reality, is exactly what will take place -- at least from my own personal perspective, and I'm guessing others will find this to be a desirable focus as well. :)

Thanks folks! I look forward to any and all conversations regarding this topic, and look forward to the opportunties that potentially exist ahead. :)
