The W3C is now hosting a feed validator based on the well-known one authored by Mark Pilgrim and Sam Ruby. What makes this one stand out and why might it interest the Syndic8 group?
Because it includes a SOAP API which can be used to automate the validating of feeds, allowing the system to weed out crap channels before humans step in to review and approve them. There is already a CPAN code library for the API, if you want to use Perl, although I believe that the Syndic8 system uses PHP. My guess is a porting or writing a PHP wrapper from scratch might involve an few hours or perhaps an afternoon's work for a programmer with some Web service/SOAP experience. Trivial perhaps. http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/api Have a look. -- Douglas Clifton [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://loadaveragezero.com/ http://loadaveragezero.com/app/s9y/ http://loadaveragezero.com/drx/rss/recent ------------------------ Yahoo!
