(thumb and file paths are relative to http://www.get-e.org/e-feeds/ - i.e. the dir the .feed file is in, Updated is just a timestamp in seconds since jan 1 1970). this would be brain-dead simple to parse, to generate etc. just a suggestion - but i just think there is a lot of debate and work when we can SAVE effort by just thinking simple. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
