Hiya,
Were there any thoughts on why the CollectionProvider/ServiceProvider
code was not a suitable approach? Did you look at possibly bringing the
two approaches together?

Hello Dave,
Very happy to see this. After quickly reading through the docs and
browsing the source, there looks to be some very valuable function
provided, much of which I think could easily become part of Abdera.
The Adapter mechanism looks particularly good but I would like to see
if we could get some closer alignment between this and the work that
Dan Diephouse has been doing, and the new StreamWriter, StreamBuilder
and (poorly-named) EntityProvider mechanisms. For performance
reasons, it would really be ideal if Adapter implementations could use
the StreamWriter interface for serializing feeds and entries.
I do notice that the FeedServerProvider is currently rather limited in
function (e.g. no service document, no media post support, no feed
paging). I assume these functions will be added over time?
Oh, and are you aware that Abdera already has a MethodOverrideFilter? :-)

Hello,
I'd like to announce a little project that we've been working on for
a while
at Google and would like the feedback of the Abdera community. We're
really
excited about the potential of Abdera and have chosen it as the
foundation
for an open-source Atom Publishing Protocol Server. We hope that the
approach we've taken is helpful to those who would like to create
read/write
Atom feeds for existing data sources.
There are more details below, but I just wanted to give a quick
update on
where we'd like to go from here. We have lots of plans for the
FeedServer,
and would like to contribute back to the Abdera project. The
FeedServer was
conceived as a separate product and could possibly be an Abdera
sub-project
when it graduates from incubator. We are also considering how we will
use it
for the Data API portion of the Shindig project. For now, we have a
project
on Google's Codesite that should give people the opportunity to look
it over
and offer feedback:
http://code.google.com/p/google-feedserver/
We think we have some good docs up on the Codesite wiki. To dive in
and see
what we've done, we've created an intro to the source code for
developers
http://code.google.com/p/google-feedserver/wiki/SourceCodeWalkthrough
Feel free to discuss here or join the Google
group<http://groups.google.com/group/google-feedserver>for the
FeedServer.
Special thanks to Jeff Pitman, Jun Yang, Vasu Nori, Chris Anderson,
Sanjay
Baberwal, Jeff Scudder, Brandon Nutter James Snell, DeWitt Clinton
and Mark
Stahl.
