Time for Forward Motion

As previously noted, weblog protocols are stuck in a rut. We want to work together and solve the problems, but political battles keep getting in the way. It’s time to put our differences aside and solve the problem.

I support the weblog format roadmap. Let’s start fresh, work together, and get the job done.

I hope you’ll join me and announce your support for the roadmap from your weblog. If we get enough people behind this, maybe we can see some forward motion in RSS again.

This is something I tend to agree with. The current set of tools has gotten too fragmented and difficult to work with. If a new effort can actually keep things simple and not fall into the second system syndrome it could be a good thing over the long run.
