Re: Proposal RSSFAQ Group

[rael@oreilly.com]

Howdy,

I'd like there also to be a persistent URL, independent of domain, 
associated, allowing for future moves, issues, and so on.  Perhaps 
http://purl.org/rss/ with the path system you mentioned below.  I 
happen to know the fellas who maintain the purl at hand ;-)

Also, I believe it makes a certain amount of sense for the 
xmlsyndication site's content to be driven by the [Syndication] list, 
allowing for folks to upload files for comment, editing, etc and then 
moving those into place on xmlsyndication.org.

Just my $0.02 on democratization, as usual :-)
