(2003-11-10) Rss Categories

Dave Winer is playing with (hierarchies of) RSS Category-s. Paolo Valdemarin compares it to Easy News Topics. I'm still interested in the Wiki ideas of a hierarchy (graph, actually) of Wiki Name-s (related across wikis by InterWikiMap?)...

RSS-ifying your WikiLog --2003/11/10 21:34 GMT
Hi Bill, Have you thought about how to integrate your WikiLog with the RSS world? I admire your Wiki Blog concept and it has a lot of pluses. But one thing about normal meat n potatoes blogs I like is that all the content can be put into an RSS feed. Not sure if you can do that with Wiki Blog...not sure, be interested in your thoughts. Regards, Richard Mac Manus

• response: I hope you find at least getting the titles to be at least semi-helpful... Since I distinguish bloggish entries from "typical-wiki" pages, I could put the full content of the former into a feed. But I haven't spent the time to look at the issues of escaping HTML in RSS, and I'm a little concerned about performance, unless I do some sort of static rendering... I've also considered the alternative of not even outputting HTML, but rather just the underlying SmartAscii; but then no WikiWord links would be visible... So, I guess the conclusion is that I'm thinking about it but very lazy/busy. --BillSeitz
