So why are you claiming to be one of the inventors of RSS?
- burtonator 7y agoYes.. I was. the initial documents were never amended as RSS evolved. Here's one of the modules I created: http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/link/ http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/link/ I think the archive is down but the rss-dev group has thousands of posts of me responding and supporting the dev or RSS. https://www.egroups.com/group/rss-dev https://www.egroups.com/group/rss-dev Additionally, I don't really care about being famous for creating something and it's always seemed obnoxious to constantly insist that you were the creator of something. I was involved in a massive public dispute where Dave Winer had a freakout when I tried to collaborate with him on RSS (he attacked the whole RSS 1.0 movement) and I got sick of constantly getting in flame wars when I'm just trying to improve the Internet. I also created Apache Feedparser.
- jp_sc 7y agoThank you for answering. The members list is indeed incomplete.
- burtonator 7y agoAlso, no other people who I would consider paramount in creating RSS are on that page including Sam Ruby and the dozens of other people who made massive contributions.
