I hadn't thought of this in the federation context and, come to think of it, I'm not really sure of your federated vision (but would love to hear it!). Are you saying RSS would be a good infrastructure for your vision? Anyway, my questions here are more generally trying to figure out if / how much Jims tool would enable TW to behave like a RSS reader (whatever *that* means. Didn't get that far.) Doing it would be effectively making TW be a consumer of ATOM feeds, > rather than a publisher, as here. > Assuming "it" refers to the federation ideas, why would it be limited to a consumer of feeds and not also a publisher? Do you think ATOM feeds + publishing in TW is the best, or at least a very good, technology for your federation ideas? I'm about to post a separate issue on some ideas I have, and maybe this discussion woudl be more appropirate there. It will illustrate the idea on how I hope a TW could display tiddlers remotely located but contrary to common iframes it would allow for some way to include the tiddler into the curren TW. (Actually - I already found a way for this! From within the iframe you can use the normal export tiddler command and simply export that tiddler into your local node.js folder! At least I think this works.) Anyway, it is not necessarily about RSS feeding so will start separate thread over the next few days. We'd also need to extend/replace the ATOM file format with something that > allows raw tiddlers to be published. > Please elaborate a bit. What actually do you mean with "publish" here? Are we talking both some special TW feeder and TW reader? If we could have tiddlers produced in ATOM file format then we could have common RSS readers read them (very desirable). This wikipedia article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29#Example_of_an_Atom_1.0_feed> indicates ATOMs are in xml <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML> form which I understand is generally popular, so hopefully "extend/replace the ATOM file format" would not break this.
