OPML Reading List

I am a Technical Evangelist for Developer Express, my work blog is here but this one is more fun. :-)

If you look over on the left hand side bar, you'll notice I've implemented a reading list, which is something Dave Winer's been banging on about for a while now. Now, when I say I've implemented it, what I mean is that I think I've implemented it. :) James Robertson, for one, is no fan of Dave's spec for OPML and even the validator on the OPML site says...

"Because it's a beta, you shouldn't depend on the results."

but it validates so I think it's right. Now all we need is aggregator support for reading lists.

Sure, I can take criticism of my work, no problem there. Esp the way you put it, sounds like maybe you've made a mistake or two in your career too.

No fan, certainly. However, I think the concept behind reading lists has merit, and I plan to add it to BottomFeeder

To keep it simple, remove the extra level of "categories."

Right now NewsRiver won't see anything that's not at the top level of a reading list.

The validator only judges whether its valid OPML, it has no opinion about whether or not it makes sense as a reading list.

About James Robertson, he's a joke. He's about as serious as the Winerlog idiots.
