I've always been interested in any attempts to improve/replace RSS, since RSS (like most formats) has some serious problems. Here, with this project, I think that there are enough intelligent people working on the problem that I can just watch it grow--but I'm contributing where I feel it's necessary for me to do so.

The syntax is so unstable at the moment (end of June, 2003; and still, August 2003) that there's no point really trying to contribute to that until it stabilizes, but it is of course the most important thing. I've added a note on RDF compatibility, which interests me a bit but then I'd rather this be a "plain" text format, I guess.

I've also done quite a lot of work on naming: I wrote the naming guidelines, refactoring them from other people's suggestions elsewhere on the wiki, crystallizing them into a single page. I'm a phenomicist (cf. [WWW]phenomic defined), so it's natural that I should want to make sure that the project has a decent name. Wyre is the best I've come across so far, but I might try to make some of my own. Pie is craptacular. Echo was alright; shame it conflicted with another project.

More Naming Stuff...

This project is called

Pie (working name)

. Hmm. The Include macro doesn't work quite as one would expect it to--it always includes as block, not inline when possible. We could've used Include(ProjectName) to refer to the project, otherwise.

I'd call it <)) if I had the choice. Not very easy to search for on Google, though.
