| OK.  Has anyone talked about the ability to syndicate an entire article
with
| RSS?
|
| I think we need a module for doing this.  I wouldn't mind drawing one up.
|
| Basically this would be for blog style activity where you really don't
care that
| your traffic would be located around another site.
|
| Thoughts?

    I agree, and have experimented a bit with full content syndication in
regard to e-texts, but the concepts carry over to articles, etc too. While
my experiments are based around SDF, and not RSS/RDF, there is not a lot of
difference in this case. My example isn't the best it could be, but here is
something to look at: http://etext.gnosium.com/LibertyOrDeath.sdf -- I am
very interesting in a schema that supports full content syndication, and
have been soap-boxing about it over on the Project Gutenberg mail list, but
since there isn't really a globally known/accepted/used schema, I end up
soap-boxing SDF. Some of the issues that have come up in regard to full
article syndication are things like text formatting, inline links, and other
UI oriented issues. They don't really bother me, but it is bound to come up
in regard to an RSS module.
