Re: [syndication] How about a [syndicate] wiki?

[Doug Ransom <doug.ransom@alumni.uvic.ca>]

I would rather edit changes andpost links on a wiki than on syndic8.  
Its simply a more open and inviting way to add content. I am a big fan 
of syndic8 for what it does.  A wiki would be a better tool to 
accomodate this and the rss-dev list.

I reccomend  SushiWiki to whoever volunteers to host the wiki.  Or maybe 
we could tag along the rdfweb wiki (we better ask first).

Can the rss 1, 2, and 3.14 folks get along on a single wiki?
