Re: [syndication] Sharing discussion area info

[Libby Miller <libby.miller@bristol.ac.uk>]

hi Dan - just trawling though my unread mail I saw your message and
thought I'd try your rss feed on my viewer. It crashed my
xml parser because of the unescaped entities you mentionned (all &s). I
mocked up a new version with escaped &s and a jsp displayer using my RDF
query language Squish at

http://swordfish.rdfweb.org:8085/rdfquery/jsp/rdfquery/discuss.jsp

if you're interested (neat idea btw)

cheers,

Libby
