WordPress and RSS 1.0

Hi Danny:

Doesn't that put WordPress in more or less the same category as MT (3.2)
which also dropped the RSS 1.0 template? In fact when we put up our
public-facing blogs at Nature using MT 3.2

Action Potential - http://blogs.nature.com/nn/actionpotential/
Free Association - http://blogs.nature.com/ng/freeassociation/
Nascent - http://blogs.nature.com/wp/nascent/

we had to lift the RSS 1.0 template from an older version. We are still very
much interested to get RDF transported over an Atom feed and would like to
engage with folks to get a standard means of accomplishing that.

Cheers,

Tony

The developers of the WordPress blogging tool are currently
talking about dropping support for RSS 1.0. I doubt would
exactly be an earthshattering blow to the RDF community (we
have XSLT!). But it does seem a negative move, all the worse
because much of the justification put forward is remarkably
badly informed (check subsequent posts in the mailing list thread).
