RE: [syndication] Alternate delivery mechanisms for RSS

["Jeff Barr" <jeff@vertexdev.com>]

I really like Julian's idea. If there was a way to truly 
enforce the "schema" that Julian proposes, then it would be 
easy to accumulate a day/week/month's worth of feeds into 
an OCS list. What if we create a simple web page somewhere
that prompts for this information, validates it, and then
sends it to the mailing list, archives it, and so forth? 

Anyone interested in doing this? Anyone? Buehler?

While I don't list every new feed, there is an RSS feed of my
newsfeeds weblog (http://newsfeeds.manilasites.com). Just
visit the site and use the "XML" image in the Syndication
section on the left.

Jeff;

Subject: [syndication] Alternate delivery mechanisms for RSS


There was some talk about delivering RSS via NNTP. 

I get one of the Moreover channels as a daily email. This has a nice
side effect that I don't miss any headlines in this particular category,
because I can easily keep a local archive of a week or so. On Friday
mornings I go through the previous week and pick out the most
interesting 15 or so, which I then re-publish[1]. This is almost
impossible with a web interface as if you miss a day, the headlines are
gone. 

Over the last few weeks we've discovered Yahoogroups, Nasdaq, I wonder
what's next. Usenet? How about a meta-meta-news channel. An RSS channel
of new RSS channels. Call it RSS-Announce or something. In fact we could
bootstrap this easily with RSS-Announce@Yahoogroups.com Make it an
"Anyone can post" mailing list and start spreading the word that any new
RSS channel should be announced with the <channel> section in the body
and <channel>.<title> as the subject. Yes?
