RSS v2.0 Pro & Con list
...
* Pro: Extensible via namespaces to achieve what we want (I think)

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 persons aren’t in urgent need of it.

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.
| |
My suggestions are:
- Using RSS and creating specific (but standardized) tags for LEGO related parts of each RSS-item
|
I think both Atom and RSS as a base would allow us to do this.
| |
- Providing the news from all participating sites on a central place (e.g. legofan.org)
|
LEGOFan.org is a possibility, or one (or several) other sites could host
information about it. That’s one of the things I think is perfect for this type
of project - there doesn’t need to be a central site (except for the namespace
DTD).
| |
- Providing it not seperated by source site (like it’s working on legofan.org at the moment), but one big RSS-index with possibilty to filter and show these news by the given criterias and (most important for sharing all the news) the possibility to get RSS-items generated by these criterias for the use on ones own site.
|
I’d love to see as many sites as possible take advantage of LENNI-enhanced
features, but I think it’s also important to not exclude “raw” feeds as well,
e.g. those without the extra LEGO-specific elements.
Also, you’d specified earlier:
Subject, Message, Date, Author, Link to a related picture (optional), Link
to the original message or to further information (optional)
I’d like to add things like Event Date Start, Event Date End, Theme(s), Age
(e.g. kids or adults or all), etc.
Is there anything else that should be added as a feature? Keep in mind that
implementation of these features will depend on custom-developed XML generators
and parsers/aggregators, so let’s not get too wild. :)
Thanks,
Kelly

| (...) 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)
