<delurk> (01)
At best i've got maybe 2 cents worth of opinion on this topic. (02)
Since moving my primary environment to OSX (reinvention of my world by
return to old familiar faces), i've noticed that I now retrieve a
majority of my updating news (blog, etc) via polling RSS aggregation.
So int that sense I would welcome this. In some skunkworks stuff I have
used, pushing these feeds into a RTC environment (chat, IM, etc) further
leverages this nicely. (03)
The advantage is that RSS when "done right" (where the value of right
may vary per individual, but play along...) provides succinct summations
of a new or updated entity that I can subscribe to. The value of a
mailing list would probably be diminished for those lists I am a
subscribing member of; where this would be very useful is in higher
traffic lists where a subset of the topics are of interest to me, but
not the totality (note: this list is in the former, not latter,
category). (04)
Another option I've seen discussed is RSS feeds for CVS users, which I
think would be similarly useful. (05)
