FeedSync now covered by the Open Specification Promise

I've been talking to more people about FeedSync since I posted the v1 specification earlier this month. One common question people ask is about licensing terms for the spec, and what our thoughts are about FeedSync implementations. We've always made it

FeedSync Design Principles

There's been a good discussion for the past couple of days on the atom-syntax list about sync, mostly focused on tombstones. It's useful to know that our primary design point for FeedSync , as Joe Cheng points out, is around "mesh sync". That is, if you

FeedSync

Today we published the final v1 spec for Simple Sharing Extensions, under a new name, FeedSync. The new name is a little simpler than the old one (kind of ironic!) and it captures the intent pretty well. We also kicked off a new site today, http://feedsync.org/

About a "by"

When to sync?

Now that we've posted the updated SSE spec to MSDN , one of the next things on my list is to discuss how SSE works. Before jumping in to examples, though, I wanted to address a more fundamental question: when does it make sense to use SSE? In my last
