Re: Atom feeds and S3

[M. David Peterson]

Yeah, I realized that when I looked at it... but instead of pointing at the problems I figured I would point him at the feedvalidator and see what the result is.  This guy (Dominic) is a pure hacker at heart, releasing a new version of his commandline tool every other day or so for the last 3 weeks... The first release was in Java, and now he has followed up with a C# port of the Java app.  It has some cool features that no one else had really even considered, showcased quite nicely by his RSS update a bit earlier this evening, to be followed only an hour or two after my request by the Atom version.

So it seemed to me pointing him at the feedvalidator instead of pointing out all of the problems in the public S3 forums was the smarter route.  If it turns out they're still invalid when he releases, its completely open source, so I will take a few moments and provide the fixes and send it back to him in private.  One way or the other we still get valid Atom and RSS, so I figure its probably worth holding things back and after he releases the update, if necessary, handle things from there.

As soon as something tangible and valid is ready to go, I'll ping back this same thread.  Based on how fast this guy codes, it shouldnt take long. :)
