How come the 'citecheck' at RSS (file format)?
- Discussion still active 21:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello Random832. Could you add a small comment to Talk:RSS (file format) about what you are looking for here? Not everyone at RSS follows the Dave Winer page, and I imagine your template must have some connection to what's going on there. EdJohnston 18:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Here's my proposed revision of the RSS 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:
RDF Site Summary, the first version of RSS, was a successor of the Meta Content Framework created by Ramanathan V. Guha of Netscape. A feature known as RSS (RDF Site Summary) was introduced by a Netscape press release in March 1999 for use on the My Netscape 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. In July 1999, responding to comments and suggestions, Dan Libby produced a prototype tentatively named RSS 0.91 (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.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.
