I was wondering what kind of file format to use for my archive file list. Is files.xml worthwhile for this purpose, and/or is there other prior art I should look at?

Mark, I just went for the most obvious flat format. The only prior art I could find was changes.xml for weblogs.com. We had directory.opml as part of upstreaming, and there's still some support for it in Radio Community Server, but that was one dimension too complex for this app. It's a hiearchy, I didn't feel this one needed to be hierarchic.

There are responses to this message:
