Here's a patch for WordPress 2.3 (SVN version) to allow admin choose the format of RSS feeds:

Gunnar asked this morning on #swig how to handle Flickr feeds, and especially images and thumbnails with feedparser. I remembered I hacked it once to make it work, but lost my changes with a server crash ...

DC2 installé depuis quelques jourt, et damned, pas de flux RSS 1.0 ! Premier plongeon dans ses entrailles (bien pensées, pour ce que j'en ai vu) pour l'ajouter.

Ce blog tourne maintenant sous Dotclear2.

Recently, Danny Ayers asked on sioc-dev:

My blog has RDF inside, core stuff is RSS 1.0 vocab. Does anyone happen to a SPARQL CONSTRUCT for RSS 1.0 to SIOC?

I've never looked at the CONSTRUCT feature of SPARQL before, so I thought it was a good motivation to look at it.

I've just noticed and fixed a bug in my RSS2Timeline service.

I used entry.content[0].value to get a feed item content, while feedparser uses entity.description as one if its universal term (which means you can use the same code for any RSS or Atom feed).

Now, the service should handle any feed without error.

When playing with Timeline, I thaught it could be a nice interface for RSS feeds, especially for weblogs or planets.

So, I wrote an ''RSS to Timeline'' service, that takes any RSS/Atom feed as an input, and translates it into the correct JSON / Timeline format. Just put the correct URL as a data source for your Timeline, and you'll get it !

Eg:

FOAFMap now gots an RSS feed of last created / updated profiles and a more complety about page.

I realised by looking at the feed that there can be multiple updates when people click a few times (I thinkà on map creation. I'll add some test to avoid saving when nothing has changed.

J'ai enfin mis en place les modifs proposées par Jérome pour avoir un flux RSS par tag sur ce blog.

Google vient de lancer son lecteur de news, dont voilà donc un bref aperçu après quelques minutes de test.
