RE: What Atom software are you working on?

> Sean (also copied), can you clarify this one way or the other?   On the concept of persistence, the feed platform in Windows persists downloaded entries from feeds for as long as the user wants them. Nothing more complicated than that.     From: M.

I think we're about ready to start expanding into the citations side of this.   Connecting this back to the AtomicRSS.NET project (or whatever the final name turns out to be (NOTE: I've officially moved this project to extensibleforge which is the new home of ALL of my ongoing projects :) > http://dev.extensibleforge.net/wiki/AtomicRSS.NET ), the ability to turn the MS Web Feed engine into an APP data store is simple enough.  But using Demokritos as the primary data store, and syncronizing with the Web Feed engine brings all of the wonderfulness that comes along with the persistence layer via SVN (and therefore historical persistence, as long as I understand correctly how Demokrito's handles persistence via SVN) thats built directly into Demokritos.   Unless I'm missing something [http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="" ] there is no direct concept of historical persistence in the Web Feed engine.   Sean (also copied), can you clarify this one way or the other?   On 5/6/06, James Tauber <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: Demokritos - APP server and Python library. http://jtauber.com/demokritos Currently implementing basic auth support for 0.4 release.
