I was just doing some random thinking about RSS, JCM, Portal Sites and
content syndication.
When the move to xml.apache.org happens, I want to convert their news
system from stylebook over to RSS, then I will add support for RSS
within stylebook so that I can complete the loop :)
I then started to think about what cool things could come from this. We
can take multiple RSS channels and 'blend' them into one channel. So
for the 'cool-computer-news' site we could blend:
Slashdot
xmlhack
Freshmeat
xml.apache.org
Mozilla
Then as each RSS channel is updated the <items> would be blended into on
large RSS channel and XSLTd into a Portlet. The result would be a new
unique website with content from each site sorted into a new RSS
channel.
We could combine this with JCM so that it's RSS output could be combine
to allow us to publish too.
This results in less duplicate data and a better update mechanism :)
This would be perfect for a site like xmlhack. They could point this to
http://xml.apache.org/news.rss (this doesn't exist just yet) and when we
publish something it will be on their site within the hour. :)
This could possibly be abused. If xml.apache.org is broken into (which
it has) it could be used to push content onto xmlhack. This would mean
that both systems were 'cracked' even if the damage to the later were
minimal, it could be embarrassing.
Man... I want this for 1.3 :)
