oh, good point. I really did not consider anyone wanting to run for the
Board who had already not been a member of the XSF.

If you have questions about the Board or what it does (or does not do) then
please ask in the Members list. All of the board members are present but I
cannot say how many of the board members actively read the Standards list.

The board members are all XSF members and as such are available and open as
the XSF is - if something needed being called to attention then please do
bring it up. If you would like to "have a conversation" with the board,
then please send an email to Members list asking for a meeting or to find
out when the next meeting is - unlike the Council, the Board does not meet
on a regular schedule.

This question would be better asked in the JDEV mailing list where more

See http://xmpp.org/participate/discuss-xmpp/ for all of the mailing lists

I think that would be a good change as Atom has become the default
canonical format for this realm.

Atom has been chosen, from what I can gather and also from my own
opinion, because it is now the format used for ActivityStreams,
PubSubHubbub, OStatus and the majority of the large consumers and
providers of feed data.

It is also a "proper" XML format which gives it a lot of advantages in
the XMPP world, but that's secondary to the prior reasons IMO.

In the case of a post or update that does not have a Title per se, the
Atom spec says that the content of the post should be placed in the
Title element and the Content element should be empty.  This rule is
also listed as a MUST in the ActivityStreams spec:

The unique identifier in your example would be something based on date
and time of receipt or generation of the post *and* you should then
include a Source element that outlines what the legacy system is using
to identify the item, including a URL to the item if possible.

In general anything that flows thru a Gateway should do this, see the
Salmon Protocol and also the Atom Threading protocol

http://salmon-protocol.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draft-panzer-salmon-00.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4685

The Author element is present to allow for downstream consumers of the
Atom item to be able to have a URL that points to the author without
having to discover thru web crawling what that author is.  At the
minimum you just need to provide a URL to the identity url of whoever
generated the post.

IMO the reason to use Atom boils down to the fact that a *lot* of
activity by some very bright and active people have focused on Atom,
with some of them extending Atom but that in itself is another reason
to use it, and they are now generating content that could easily flow
thru your gateway with minimal processing and still retain a lot of
the metadata from the source while allowing you to add your own
metadata.

p.s. my background in all of this is very behind the scenes and I was
working on quite a few Atom based services at Seesmic before they
pulled the plug on the project :(
