Re: [syndication] Re: Proposal RSSFAQ Group

1. Whatever Alis wants to do is cool with me.

2. However I ask that you all remember the point of view of a complete
newbie. What do they need to know before they get started. Everything else
is less important. Have you ever gone to a website for some software or
format, and wondered why they don't just tell you what you have to do

3. For the names, we already have one and need two more.

    A. RSS 0.91.

    B. The "simple" branch.

    C. The RDF branch.
