I just wanted to give you heads up that soon it will be time for me to
devote most of my time on the second part of the Feed handling support in
Chrome, namely: Feed Previews (
http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/feed-subscriptions).
Consider this a request for your feedback, especially if you know about the
status of the previous feed preview work or have opinions on the general
direction/approach we should take.
I have already added an API for PageActions and have a working RSS
PageAction extension, which does feed auto-detection on the page. Now it is
time to look into Feed previews.
I have spoken briefly to AdamB and EvanM about feed previews and both
suggested modelling this after the view-source implementation. It was also
suggested to add a scheme for this (like we do with view-source), such as
view-feed: or feed:
I know there has been some work on this front before, although the status of
that is not clear to me -- except that it was disabled at some point (or
removed from the codebase?). I would love to see what was done back then, if
anyone knows more. A cursory look through the code indicated that mime type
sniffing for feed is done. I've heard there is also some remaining work
required for sanitizing the feeds before showing, but besides the above
there is not much more I know at this point in time.
Comments welcome.
