Thoughts and comments on oSync http://www.osync.org - oSync is a RSS/Atom like content syndication specification in JSON and takes into location, tags, commonly used namespaced elements (iTunes, Yahoo) and especially SUP baked right in! Not to mention JSON from end-to-end.
Interesting idea.. though it's in alpha... - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I made it alpha because I wanted to get feedback from the community before finalizing on the fields and such. - Ray Slakinski
Sorry I missed that you're the author :) This is something the OpenFFers might also be interested in: http://www.friendfeed.com/openff - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Good idea, forwarded :) - Ray Slakinski
How compatible is this with http://cwiki.apache.org/ABDERA... (which I think is the most widely deployed atom-json serialization)? - Nick Lothian
Its not compatible at all with atom-json. The approach with atom-json was to take all of Atom and make it onto a json object which is fine if that is what you want. To me atom-json feels like XML being represented in JSON. I took a more the same approach as Dave Winer did when he created RSS and tried to make it really simple to syndicate content but in a very JSON way. - Ray Slakinski
Updated some of the elements here based on some comments I got back - Ray Slakinski
