Re: DOAML and RSS

Hiya,

Nice module.

I have implemented RSS feeds of mailing lists (using a Perl script to 
parse archive pages - see http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/xml/deos.cgi and 
http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/xml/itforum.cgi )
and can see how this would be useful.

For the elements corresponding to doaml:description, 
doaml:description-page and doaml:name
I used the RSS description, link and name fields respectively - the 
DOAML proposal therefore
seems to introduce some redundancy.

This presumes that the RSS feed is a list of mailing list posts, as I 
have done.

As for the approval process for RSS 1.0 modules - I have over time 
observed a number of module
proposals be submitted to this list and ignored. There is not to my 
knowledge an approval process.

This is something I would like to see those in charge take up and 
address. Minimally, there should
be some process. If there is a process, and I simply don't know what it 
is, then it should be posted
here and also on the RSS 1.0 web pages.
