A few weeks ago, I decided to build a conformant AtomPub server implementation on MarkLogic Server. Mostly for fun, but partly with an eye towards using it for some future reimplementation of this weblog. In any event, it's up and running on my test server.

Feedshttp://norman.walsh.name/2006/02/14/feeds2006-02-14T14:07:31Z2010-10-08T18:18:54.091345ZAtomRSS

My plan to remove RSS feeds caused some consternation in the community. In addition to pointing out some places where RSS is still needed, a workaround was proposed. So, before I pull the plug, let's see if the workaround will…work. [Update: no, it won't.]

RSS R.I.P.http://norman.walsh.name/2006/02/01/rssrip2006-02-01T16:30:57Z2010-10-08T18:18:44.76517ZAtomRSS

This is your two week warning: when I return from vacation, the RSS feeds are going to go away.

A few thoughts on a few of your thoughts.

I jumped the gun a bit yesterday and started publishing Atom format-08 feeds. I've backed that change out for the time being.

An Atom feed to keep track of your movements, and the movements of your fellow users.

Atom feed of Subversion loghttp://norman.walsh.name/2005/02/12/svnfeed2005-02-12T18:47:23Z2010-10-08T18:08:37.636422ZAtomSelfReferenceXML

Tracking my hacks in Subversion.

Essay Relationshipshttp://norman.walsh.name/2004/07/16/relationships2004-07-16T11:19:16Z2010-10-08T18:01:00.57825ZAtom

Having been convinced that my motivation for having three dates in Atom was really a mechanism for expressing some implicit relationships between ideas, I started thinking about what explicit relationships I might want to express.

Dates for Atom Entrieshttp://norman.walsh.name/2004/07/14/atomDates2004-07-14T12:08:01Z2010-10-08T18:00:48.119302ZAtom

My new thinking is that Atom only needs to provide two dates: issued and modified. Revisions can better be handled by constructing a version chain.

Three Dates for Atomhttp://norman.walsh.name/2004/07/14/threeDates2004-07-14T12:00:21Z2010-10-08T18:00:54.321255ZAtom

I used to think Atom should provide three dates. I don’t anymore and this essay is just part of an example of what I think should be done instead.

Three Dates for Atomhttp://norman.walsh.name/2004/03/14/threeDates2004-03-14T15:57:00Z2010-10-08T17:56:32.549829ZAtom

There have been several long threads on the Atom mailing list about which dates make sense for an entry and which should be required. I’ve posted once or twice to the effect that I need only two: created and modified. I’ve changed my mind, I need a third: issued.

I spent some time last after dinner hacking Atom support into my blog infrastructure.

Another RELAX NG Grammar for the format sometimes referred to as Pie or Echo. And some more thoughts about Son-of-RSS.

There's serious debate in the successor-to-RSS world about how to maintain escaped HTML markup in a feed. I'm just appalled. [Updated 22 Aug 2003.]
