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:

He also has added a REST ping method:

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.
