| Hello Random832. Could you add a small comment to ] about what you are looking for here? Not everyone at RSS follows the ] page, and I imagine your template must have some connection to what's going on there. ] 18:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Here's my proposed revision of the ] paragraph called 'RSS Creation'. In this version I've removed your 'citation needed' about R.V.Guha because I try to confine myself to what the current references say. Before I replace this I'd like to get your opinion. In particular, the last sentence may receive scrutiny since it seems to credit Dave Winer with something: | |||
| :<blockquote>RDF Site Summary, the first version of RSS, was a successor of the ] created by ] of ]. A feature known as RSS (RDF Site Summary) was introduced by a Netscape press release in March 1999 for use on the ] portal. Users were invited to submit descriptions of their content, created using RSS, which apparently would serve as a semantic description of their individual websites, so that Netscape could build an index of their website contents. This version became known as RSS 0.9.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/quickstart.html |title=My Netscape Network: Quick Start |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20001208063100/http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/quickstart.html |archivedate=2000-12-08 |publisher=] |accessdate=2006-10-31 }}</ref> In July 1999, responding to comments and suggestions, ] produced a prototype tentatively named RSS 0.91<ref>{{cite web |url= http://web.archive.org/web/20001204093600/my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-spec-0.91.html |title=RSS 0.91 Spec, revision 3 |author=Libby, Dan |date=] |publisher=] |accessdate=2007-02-14 }}</ref> (RSS standing for Rich Site Summary), that simplified the format and incorporated parts of Winer's Scripting News format. This they considered an interim measure, with Libby suggesting an RSS 1.0-like format through the so-called Futures Document.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/futures.html |title=MNN Future Directions |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20001204123600/http://my.netscape.com/publish/help/futures.html |archivedate=2000-12-04 |publisher=] |accessdate=2006-10-31 }}</ref>Libby's RSS 0.91 spec uses the word 'syndication' which was not found in the Netscape press release of March, 1999. This might suggest that the Guha-like semantic indexing of entire web sites was being replaced by or augmented by a Winer-like series of pointers to newly added content items.</blockquote> | |||

| :Thank you for your advice that the world's not going to end tomorrow. It comes as a great relief after talking to a friend, who said that we're only one random meteor hit away from that very thing happening. No doubt we will find out later today. However, I didn't say there was a "frenzy", just "a lot of pressure". I would not wish to continue in the former state, but the latter is not unusual, as the admin to user ratio decreases daily. I think it is time to take a wikibreak not when there is "a lot" of pressure, but when there is "too much" pressure. I can assure you that there was a good reason at the time why I did need to access his page (though I don't recall exactly what it was) or I would not have done so. ] 02:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
