Dave: AmphetaDesk was the first application to take the
mySubscriptions.opml of Radio Userland and adopt it for it's own
channel list. NetNewsWire followed thereafter. I haven't been
near AmphetaDesk for a while, but off the top of my head:
* I hate innerCaps, so I write attributes lowercase. I read both.
* I believe you had "text=" as the title of the RSS feed. I
use "title=", but the code converts "text" to "title".
* Any attributes that AmphetaDesk doesn't explicitly use
are read and written as if I did. Likewise, I provide
an API to get at that "unused" data.
I believe I've added two or three attributes not part
of the original mySubscriptions.opml files I've seen:
* filename: internal use for AmphetaDesk.
* date_downloaded and _added. self explanatatory.
* email: the nearest approximation to the
channel's email address, if any.
I'm doing a lot of work with OPML and want to start discussing it with other developers. So this is a heads-up, if you don't want to talk about applications,...

Rogers, thanks for kicking off the restart of this list. And thanks to everyone else for not objecting to the newly stated charter. I'm optimistic about our...

Excellent. That's exactly the kind of report we need. Since Brent went next, maybe he could explain how he uses OPML, in a style similar to this explanation....
Stan that looks very useful. Could you add Morbus's info to that. I think people should post their reports to the list, as long as it isn't overwhelming, and...
