Yahoo Groups produces invalid author elements in its RSS 2.0 feeds -- they aren't valid e-mail addresses. Though this is a minor error for most consumers of...
The draft spec for RSS 2.0 has been updated: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1 Changes: 1. In item-description, changed "The description MUST be suitable for...
... The seven-day revote begins today on the RSS Autodiscovery spec. The text has not been revised since the last vote. I vote Yes. There may be a point at...
I vote yes. I just wanted to confirm that previous votes on the subject will be voided by this one. So, everybody has to re-vote. Correct? Thanks, Randy...
... with Matthew Bookspan, Rogers Cadenhead, Jason Douglas, James Holderness, Eric Lunt, Randy Charles Morin and Jake Savin voting in favor and no one voting...
I just heard from Ross Mayfield, who's resigning the RSS Advisory Board because of other obligations. We still get to keep our SocialText wiki. This means...
The RSS Advisory Board's charter stipulates that the chair serves a two-year term that begins Feb. 1 of odd-numbered years. I'm interested in continuing as...
You got my vote! I think in the next year we have to focus on the profile in order to get it done without another year of delays. I think everybody would like...
I'd like to propose a small clarification to the spec to remove debate in the community as to whether extension attributes are allowed in the RSS spec. In the...

... The reason it has to be addressed in the spec is because one namespace has no bearing on another. We can't use potential interop problems as the reason to...
James, Politics aside, do you have a specific concern with the spec mod? Is there a use case (RSS fragment) that describes your concern? Thanks, Randy Charles...
... Nope. Technically I think the proposal makes sense. My concerns are entirely political - essentially I don't want to get involved in a spec fight, which is...
The seven-day voting period now begins on the proposal to add four words to the RSS 2.0 specification to clarify whether extension attributes are allowed to...
I'm voting Yes on this proposal. I think it's the proper interpretation of what the spec means regarding namespace support, and the board's the proper place to...
I'm voting yes also. There's been little debate about whether this change is actually good or bad, since most every agrees the change would help clarify...
I vote No ... not because of any political issues, just because namespaced attributes have always rubbed me the wrong way. If it's any consolation, I don't...
