Just a quick note -

I started this list <http://tech. groups.yahoo. com/group/ syndication/ message/2> more than
nine years ago (!) to talk about "syndication" . In the process, we had a nice war about RSS,
and helped birth a new, open standard -- Atom.

There hasn't been any serious activity on this list since 2004, and even its name isn't terribly
relevant any more, as the community's discussion has moved from syndication to blogging,
open data APIs and further.

As a result, I'll be closing this list down soon. It was fun.

If you have syndication- related questions, there are a number of places to take them; I'd
suggest the atom-syntax mailing list <http://www.imc. org/atom- syntax/> as a starting
point.

May you enjoy having one less mailbox to monitor,
