Service contracts and support for generating RSS feeds

2003-11-10 Basic support for RSS generation and parsing. RDF Site Summary (RSS) is a lightweight multipurpose extensible metadata description and syndication format. This package can be used to publish site content in a manner useful to other websites and webservices. <p> For each item (news event, ticket, bboard message, ...) that you want to publish, you create a property list that describes that item (url to item, title of item, description of item, etc.). You pass a list of those items (and some other parameters) to rss_gen, and it will generate your XML for you. You can also implenent a set of functions that satisfy the RSS service contracts and the RSS can be recreated from a scheduled procedure. <ul> <li> <a href='http://www.google.com/search?q=rss+0.91'>RSS 0.91 specification</a> <li> <a href='http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/specification.html'>RSS 1.0 specification</a> </ul>
