RE: [syndication] Re: Proposal RSSFAQ Group

How about something really straight-forward:

xmlsyndication.org/faq/rss091
xmlsyndication.org/faq/rss-simple
xmlsyndication.org/faq/rss-semantic

where rss-simple and rss-semantic could be replaced by whatever the new
names are.

Seems to me we may be going too deep into this when we don't need to.
Executive summary is great idea. Breakdowns for content providers, channel
consumers, and the rest of us deep-magic geeks is good. "One document" is a
misnomer -- assume you mean "one" in the logical sense, i.e. one site with
multiple links to subordinate topics?

Speaking from experience, suggest nominating/choosing one person to head up
each section. This gives a single POC for that effort, and reduces
confusion.

Using this domain name could also extend to:

xmlsyndication.org/faq/ocs
xmlsyndication.org/faq/cdf
xmlsyndication.org/faq/whatever-is-next

etc.

This provides one place to visit to see everything you need to know about
xml-based syndication.

xmlsyndication.org is available; xmlsyndication.com is taken. If someone
will second the idea, I am willing to register it right now.

xmlsyndication.org/samples/asp
xmlsyndication.org/samples/perl
xmlsyndication.org/samples/php
xmlsyndication.org/samples/python

etc etc etc ad nauseum

Hi,

OK, most people think that this list is a fine place to discuss RSSFAQ.
I'll consider it agreed that we do not need a separate list.

As for RSSFAQ.com, I agree with Dave that if "RSS" is ending with 0.91, we
should be able to get rid off a lot of the confusion that currently exists.
I think the "one document" idea is good.  I'm not however against creating
some other documents, if we felt they would be useful to RSS 0.91 users.
Perhaps linking to any further info from the one main document would be the
best way of saying "there is more info if you would find it helpful, but all
the basic info you need is here".

Regards FAQ for all the RSS related formats, maybe they would be best served
with a domain each.  I think we will have to wait and see what's happening
now before we can address the bigger picture of RSSFAQ for all the formats.
