Time to break this into a subthread, I think... RSS v. Atom - Pro and Con Time So now that I've spent the last few hours reading the (URL) history>[1] of RSS v2.0 and what's become Atom (although the Homer Simpson in me liked its previous name, (...)

Hi Kelly, (...) As said earlier by mail, I think that this is the most important thing to have implemented in a "LEGO community related" newssystem. Since I got no replies after I mentioned it in the globalAFOL group, I thought the participated (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) Adding tags to the spec isn't "expensive" - and since clients won't be required to implement support for new tags, unless they want to, I say, let's think of anything we can want, and then decide if it's worth adding to the spec or not. :) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Sorry about that, got distracted! Mostly BrickFest, some other things. Back on it again, and your email from 1 August was very helpful in setting the direction for LENNI. (...) I think both Atom and RSS as a base would allow us to do this. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) You really shouldn't have to apologize. I didn't meant it this way. I just thought the topic is of no interest, without any subjective assessment. But so much the better that you carry on with LENNI, I'm really glad about it. Unfortunalety, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

I do think most feeds will end up being served from a centralized server, but that's not an absolute necessity. RSS links can be distributed, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) Why have a centralized server? I'd expect there be a list of feeds someplace, and maybe mirroring of feeds... But it would make a lot of sense to have each feed hosted off the service that generates it. Unless LENNI wants to support remote (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I saw a centralised server as an aggregator, not the primary source of the original content. I think there's a desire to be able to aggregate feeds from many places and present them blended together. Once aggregated, some specific filtering (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)
