While Atom has many advantages over raw RSS, RSS is still a widely accepted and understood format. I think it would be premature to drop support for it. It shouldn't be too hard to accept both - just like we already do. >> * Named URLs for feeds > > Sure. > >> * Deploying at arbitrary URLs, rather than /feed/<x>/<y>/<z> > > Yep. > >> * Member per-feed permissions > > Maybe we can associate each feed with a list of groups, so that only > group members get access. This sounds like almost exactly the wrong thing to do. Look at permissions everywhere else they are implemented in Django - it's a function. For standalone views, this is a function that returns true/false when the resource is visible; this function is then wrapped in a decorator. In the admin, you override functions on the base site to control resource visibility. These functions can access contrib.auth tables if necessary, but it could equally evaluate any other function based on any other parameter. I would expect that on a feed, you would either override a base visibility function that returned true/false, or the method that turned a request into a feed item could raise PermissionDenied exceptions.
