As pointed out here [1] the current implementation
of the coffee mug only allows for the one-click integration of a feed if the
user is running a copy of Radio Userland. This poses a functionality problem for
people who do not run Radio Userland, and also discourages non-Radio readers
from subscribing to Radio users sites.
Springboarding off of [1] I've thrown together a
script that (if pointed to with a URL of a feed) will allow the user to select
which service or application they wish to use to subscribe to the feed.
(currently includes four services). If the coffee mug was reworked to point to a
URL running this script (or one with similar functionality) the problem would be
solved. The main advantage to this system is that the user does not have to
install a work-around locally.
I recommend that the location of this script be at
syndic8.com, a platform/application neutral party. That is, provided Jeff feels
it is something syndic8 is interested in doing. (bandwidth issues,
etc).
This script is currently at: http://fyuze.com/exp/xmldispatch.php
and should be called with a url argument.
I do not have Radio installed on my system, so I
can't verify that it works, however, in principle, it should. (fingers
crossed)
You can examine the (simple) script at: http://fyuze.com/exp/xmldispatch.src
