I'm pleased to announce the release of RSS 1.1: a bugfix version of RSS 1.0, being a popular XML-based syndication format.

http://inamidst.com/rss1.1/
- RSS 1.1 Specification

This specification has been developed by a group of RSS 1.0 users including myself who sought not just to resolve the various bugs therein but also to improve the integrity of the specification in general, and provide RELAX NG and RDF Schemata.

To coincide with the release, we're also making available a number of tools, including an RSS 1.1 feed validator (using a SAX parser in Python), a converter (based on XSLT), a test suite, and various implementations for Movable Type, Wordpress, and others, all of which are linked to from the following guide:

http://inamidst.com/rss1.1/guide
- A Rough Guide to RSS 1.1

Discussion of the format may be had in any of the following fora, depending upon the particular nature of the feedback:

xml-dev - Reply to this thread if you have comments about any XML related matters, especially including the validator and XSLT implementations.
irc.freenode.net #rss1.1 - For real time communication with the developers of the specification, and any general comments.
rss-dev mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/ For feedback on how RSS 1.1 relates to 1.0 and other syndication formats.

Specific typographical corrections may be sent directly to the editors, the contact details for whom are in the specification.

Thanks,

Sean B. Palmer, http://inamidst.com/sbp/

Subject:   RSS 1.1

This announcement is to inform the community of the development of a bugfix release to RSS 1.0, originally developed by RSS-DEV Working Group, titled RSS 1.1.

- RSS 1.1 Specification

This specification is developed as an independent effort by Sean B. Palmer, myself, and Cody Woodard. It is designed to offer users of RSS 1.0 a replacement using more current features of RDF to simplify the syntax. It features a complete formal definition document including OWL, RELAX NG, and specification conformance criteria.

This original release features a number of tools associated with the specification, including a validator for RSS 1.1 feeds. The validator, and other resources such as implementations and example users of the specification are linked from the following guide:

http://inamidst.com/rss1.1/guide
- A Rough Guide To RSS 1.1

This specification is designed for current RSS 1.0 users, and is not designed to compete with the currently-under-development Atom specification. It is created taking into account a number of the problems brought up since the creation of the RSS 1.0 specification, and aims to correct these issues while maintaining a relatively high level of backwards compatibility for increased tool support.

Discussion of the format may be had in any of the following fora, depending upon the particular nature of the feedback:

www-rdf-interest - Reply to this thread if you have comments about the applicability of RDF to RSS in general, or RSS 1.1's specific use of RDF features.
irc.freenode.net #rss1.1 - For real time communication with the developers of the specification, and any general comments.
rss-dev mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/ For feedback on how RSS 1.1 relates to 1.0 and other syndication formats.
