Two Minor Specification Issues   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #121 of 292 |
The current RSS specification contains two minor issues I'd like to
resolve.

1. http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#optionalChannelElements

The docs element refers to an outdated URL for the specification,
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss, instead of the current URL:

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification

For as long as the board operates,
http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification will be the permanent URL of
the current version of the spec. The domain name is the property of
the board, so it can move to a new host as needed in the future.

John Palfrey at Harvard told me that the URL
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss is going to become the permanent
URL of the original Harvard spec published in 2003 (not any of the
board's subsequent derivations). You can find a copy of the original
Harvard spec here:

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-2-0-1

2. http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#comments

The spec encourages people with questions about RSS to post them on
the RSS2-Support mail list hosted by Sjoerd Visscher:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RSS2-Support

This list is no longer active, receiving more spam than RSS-related
posts. Our own RSS-Public mailing list is a better place to seek help.

Proposal

1. Revise the specification to reflect
http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification as the permanent URL of the
document and RSS-Public as the mailing list where users can pose
questions about the format.

2. Give this version of the specification document the revision number
"RSS 2.0.8".

Is there a second?
