Since the terms were first coined in 2004, the words "podcast" and "podcasting" have been used generically to refer to audio or video files delivered as RSS...
I second and will initiate the discussion. My understanding is that Apple is standing on firm legal ground when they try to protect their iPod trademark....
In the early days, iPodder.org was retargeted as indiepodder.org, the iPodder the program was retargeted as "Juice reciever" and "podcasting" was interpreted...
Wikipedia is a great source of misinformation. Podcasting was coined shortly after the less glamourous iPod Platform, which was being worked on my Winer and...
Randy, Agreed. My recollection is similar to yours (though I don't specifically remember "iPod Platform"). "Personal On Demand" and the renaming of iPodder.org...
Just a quick note: if you're going to the Podcast Expo in California this Friday/Saturday, look me up I'll be in the FeederReader booth. Here's my "on topic"...
... Thanks. I hope that other board members will let us know when they're going to upcoming conferences or launching new products and services, because I'd...
... As the proponent, I'm withdrawing this proposal before the vote begins. I'd like to see whether alternate terms such as netcasting and feedcasting gain any...
In the 2.5 years I've been a member of the RSS Advisory Board, three questions have been asked most often by programmers having difficulty interpreting the RSS...
I agree substantially with moving in this direction, though as I recall the conclusions *I made in my head (and argued heavily for at the time)* were 1)...
... I'll support any direction the board wants to go on these three questions, but I don't think we should change requirements in the spec in response to...
... Here's my take on why item-description is the only element that allows HTML: 1. RSS 0.91 [1] explicitly prohibited HTML markup in RSS aside from 96 HTML...
While I haven't personally reviewed all your statements here regarding the specification, I have no reason to disbelieve them. I think you're saying the...
I do want to point out an interesting dichotomy. With respect to relative URLs, the "spec is pretty clear" yet we are suggesting to define it as a "SHOULD"....
... The draft spec is still clear that link and url elements MUST begin with a base URI: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1#data-types-url "In all link and...
Well, I can tell you all that what Rogers proposes for the interpretation of these three questions exactly match the assumptions that FeedBurner makes about...
... If I were forced to guess the intention of the original spec regarding these issues I'd probably reach the same conclusions. However, I don't think that ...
... It's within the board's discretion to decide that the roadmap does not permit us to touch anything in the spec that affects the interpretation of RSS. We...
... The most common place that I've seen HTML titles is in search results. Try doing a search on Bloglines or the Google blog search for a term that's likely...
The draft spec has been revised to take a more conservative approach on enclosures and HTML markup. http://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1 In both cases, the...
I like, in theory, taking the Postel's Law approach for the multiple enclosures issue, but it still gives me pause to see "aggregators SHOULD expect to...
A new draft of the proposed spec has been published: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1 This draft fixes an error in the description of the category element ...
I propose that the RSS Advisory Board adopt a specification for RSS auto-discovery to give users and developers formal definition and guidance for using this...
... I second the proposal. There's already work underway on RSS-Public, for members who'd like to join Randy and I in drafting the spec. With the second,...
As I've previous written here, we've been working on official specification for RSS autodiscovery. http://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery To date, there has...
