O'Reilly's "Content Syndication with XML and RSS"

["Ben Hammersley" <ben@benhammersley.com>]

**** CROSS-POSTED! BEWARE! ****

Good morning all,

I've just agreed a contract with O'Reilly to write "Content Syndication
with XML and RSS" for release around the end of the year. 

My aim is for the book to cover most of the xml-ish syndication
standards, but to concentrate on RSS0.9x and RSS1.0. I shall be putting
the proposed outline of the chapters - which will no doubt evolve - on
the book's blog at http://rss.benhammersley.com over the next few days.
In OPML, natch.

Meanwhile, and over the next few months, I would very much appreciate
hearing from anyone with ideas/issues/bugbears/preoccupations/fetishes
or any other interest whatsoever in RSS. Are there any issues you feel
need strong wording? Any common errors you'd like to see highlighted?
Any interesting uses of RSS that you'd like to see in such a book? Any
future developments that you would like to get into a book coming out in
6 months or so?

RSS is a great technology, and its community is both very strong and
very diverse: I'd like the book to reflect this. Your input will be
highly valued.

I'm on email, all the IM networks, and via the blog: details in my sig.
I'll also be at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference next month,
if there are any soapboxes you'd like to administer personally.

Cheers,
Ben
