Fluoride, a Feed Server Proposal
0. Rationale
a RSS/Atom feed by default is hard to track. The aim of this proposal
is to create a server which can track statistics on who is reading
your feeds, and what they are reading.
0.1 Criteria
Meritocracy:
Apache was chosen for an incubator for the guidance the community can
provide.
Community:
None yet.. this is just an idea
Core Developers:
Ian Holsman. ASF Member
Alignment:
The initial code is planed to be implemented in C and python, but I
am inpartial. I'm OK with java as well.
0.2 Warning signs
Orphaned products:
N/A
Inexperience with open source:
Ian is a ASF member
Homogenous developers:
Only one developer. I am hoping for others to be interested and join in
Reliance on salaried developers:
No.
No ties to other Apache products:
It is planned to use mod_python & Apache Httpd as a platform.
A fascination with the Apache brand:
we are fascinated by it. It's shiny. Seriously I chose apache as I
thought others may be interested
1. Scope of the subprojects
The initial scope of the project will be the development of a
functionally-complete implementation of a server capable of handling
between 10-1000 unique feeds with each feed having multiple subscribers.
2. Initial source
None.
2.1 External Dependencies of the project
The current implemenation depends on the following components:
It is envisioned that the project would require Django for it's
maintenance screens, and use Apache's Httpd and mod_python.
3. Identify the ASF resources to be created
3.1 mailing list(s)
fluoride-ppmc (moderated subscriptions)
fluoride-dev
fluoride-commits
fluoride-user
3.2 Subversion repository
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/fluoride
3.3 Bugzilla
fluoride
4. Identify the initial set of committers:
Ian Holsman (Zilbo)
5. Identify Apache sponsoring individual
We request that the Apache Incubator PMC sponsor the Abdera Atom
implementation as an incubating project.
