Atom support in WordPress
Sam Ruby, Mr. RSS, pointed out that WordPress 2.3 ‘dexter’ has added “full atom 1.0 support, including the publishing protocol” which is a major accomplishment, trust me. We added Atom 1.0/APP support to Habari in November 2006 and it was a laborious task.
The spec is an ever shifting landscape and worse still, there aren’t many platforms that implement the protocol correctly. One thing that I noticed in Mr. Ruby’s article was that he played some kind of role in the WP implementation. We (being Habari) would love to have some recommendations on our Atom implementation. We are not silly enough to think we have it nailed perfectly.
So Mr. Ruby, you have the time to lend a hand to a young and impressionable open source project?

Has anybody attempted to run APE against a freshly installed Habari installation?

We have in the past, but not recently. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, RFCs are like that. Wait, no they’re not.

Mark, we’ve been following the drafts as much as possible.
The RFC is old and much different than the draft-17.

The RFC doesn’t exist, but will any day now. Its content will be identical to draft-17; the IESG approved it in late July. So the landscape has definitively stopped shifting.

That is great to hear Tim, I am excited about what the future holds for platforms that leverage Atom and APP!
And don’t worry about the double posting, that is entirely my fault, since I don’t tell my commenters that you will be in moderation. I need to do something about that.

Got mixed up with the Atom syndication RFC, my bad.
