James Snell: “Just a couple of minutes ago I sent off a new proposal to the Apache Incubator PMC to consider incubation of ‘ARI’, a reference implementation of the Atom Syndication Format and Atom Publishing Protocol specifications.”
I’ve been working with Atom lately, specifically with the Publishing Protocol side of things, and have been using Rome, supplemented by some of Dave Johnson’s code. While Rome is a fine toolkit for all kinds of syndication needs, its support for the many variations of RSS tends to get in the way when all you need is Atom, and Dave’s code is too blog-centric for my needs, which have nothing to do with blogging.
So I welcome ARI and will have a look at the code ASAP but, judging from the latest spat of articles on James’ blog, it looks like it already provides a good set of features on the syndication front and some support on the publishing one. I’ll try to swap it in in place of my homegrown, Rome-based code and see if it works out.

I checked out the Atom Syndication Format and Atom Publishing Protocol specifications some months ago and they look very interesting: a Java reference implementation would be great.
I hope to find the time to play a bit with James’ code, and I hope to see the ARI project accepted soon in Apache Incubator.
Keep us informed.

hi Ugo.
just a semantic note to you and your readers.. ARI (or whatever it will be called) will *NOT* be a reference implementation. According to Roy F, the IETF doesn’t allow reference implementations, just implementations
but it is pretty exciting! and I wish them well.
Yeah, calling it a “reference implementation” was a mistake. We are actively looking for alternative name suggestions tho.
Looks great! I found lots of intresting things here. Please more updates.
If You have some time, plesae review my blog. Your opinion is very important for me:

I’ve just been hanging out doing nothing. I just don’t have anything to say , but that’s how it is. It’s not important. I’ve just been letting everything wash over me these days. Shrug. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about.
