$yndication

Comments[0] by Dave in Blogging
Janne Jalkanen: This is by the way the reason why I think that Atom should be considered primarily as a content-delivery channel, and not a "standard for publishing weblogs". People know how bad I am at predicting, but my guess is that measured by volume, in two years most content transported through syndication standards (like RSS and Atom) will be non-weblog. While blogging is important, it cannot match the sheer volume of corporate-created content services. There's money to be made in syndication - go get it, folks!

Roller hacks: Wellformed rss comments feed for JRoller

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

You don't have to wait for Roller to add a comments newsfeed, you can do it yourself through the Roller UI just by hacking templates, as illustrated by Richard Osbaldeston who has put together a page template that shows comment. I think Lance and Euxx have shown how to do this before, but Richard's comments feed is an extended RSS 2.0 feed and it also includes trackback:ping, wfw:comment, and slash:comments elements from the corresponding modules. Most excellent.

Richard also wonders aloud about contributing his work to Roller, or at least to the Roller Wiki. Unfortunately, I had to shut down public access to the Roller Wiki due to Wiki vandals/spammers. However, if you have something to contribute please let me know and I'll set you up with a login.
