Revising the RSSCloud Interface   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #287 of 317 |
As you probably know, Dave Winer's been working to revive the cloud element in
RSS and the RSSCloud Interface that defines how it is used. These date back to
RSS 0.92. The work's described on a web site he has launched:

http://www.rsscloud.org/

For this effort, Winer is unilaterally making changes to the RSSCloud Interface.
He has added multiple url# arguments (url1, url2, url3 and so on) to the REST
interface:

http://rsscloud.org/walkthrough.html#requestingNotificationUsingRest

He also has added a REST ping method:

http://rsscloud.org/walkthrough.html#pingingViaRestaNamepingresta

WordPress has implemented RSSCloud with Winer's participation for all seven
million of its hosted blogs on wordpress.com.

I'd like to know what the members think that the RSS Advisory Board should do,
if anything, in regard to this effort. I've posted the same question on the
RSS-Public mailing list.

You've pretty much summed up my feelings on it. I think this is a responsibility that the Board should take on. I do think that Winer's changes have merit,...

... I agree that the process of creating a spec unilaterally by a single (or even small group of people!) is not a good thing. I don't believe 'we' as the RSS...

... If we defer to Dave, he will control RSSCloud and the most likely outcome is that the spec will be imprecise, he will declare it frozen and we won't be in...

IMHO, I don't understand how anybody thinks that rssCloud could possibly work. There's simply too many scenarios where the spec fails. See scenarios of failure...
