what is HamsterCMS
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "HamsterCMS" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "HamsterCMS is ____", a sentence describing the term)

I vaguely remember an article where someone was telling about the benefits of having the author’s email in the rss feed. Did anyone else come across it?

it's always struck me as odd that item.author in RSS is technically supposed to be email. https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#hrelementsOfLtitemgt

(optional, granted)

...RSS was created over 25y ago so 🤷
#
mandaris
The odd thing for me is the spec has `email@domain.tld (author name)`
#
mandaris
[mattl]: I think that might be it. Thank you
#
[snarfed]
mandaris yup. 1999 🤷

and apparently it's perfect and doesn't need any changing
#
[snarfed]
largely yes, but also worse, they changed it w/RSS 2.0, and most publishers didn't upgrade 😆
#
gRegor
Time for RSS 5.0
#
epoch
I'm not sure if it is a mistake to change 90% of something then call it 2.0 instead of just making a new name for it
#
gRegor
(this is a joke)

RSS and HTTP are the two I was thinking
#
epoch
oh. and IPv6
#
epoch
maybe I'll finally write something that speaks HTTP/2 one of these days

RSS 5.1 so it can appeal to the same crowd that loves old versions of Microsoft Word for Macintosh
