The ROME logo contest was very successful, with 21 submissions ranging from fun to clean, functional or creative: this will be a tough choice! If you care about ROME, visit the ROME Logo contest page on our wiki and vote!

This is the announcement email from Mark Woodman, the ROME commiter who very efficiently organized the contest.

All, Let the voting begin! Please help us choose our new logo. We have some really great concepts from which to choose, but we're going to leave the decision up to you. This page has now been updated with information on how to vote: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/RomeLogoContest Good luck to everyone who submitted an entry! - Mark

A big thank you to all the volunteers who took some time to give a graphic face to our small open source RSS and Atom utilities library, and kudos to Mark for organizing the contest.

Bosworth's Web of Data: "Google's Adam Bosworth's keynote at the 2005 MySQL Users Conference was a call to audience members to "do for information what HTTP did for user interface." The web was successful because it offered a simple, sloppy, standards-based, scalable platform, and the challenge is to take a database and do the same. Daniel Steinberg covered Bosworth's talk, and provides this report."

...Bosworth predicts that RSS 2.0 and Atom will be the lingua franca that will be used to consume all data from everywhere. These are simple formats that are sloppily extensible. Anyone who wants to can use these formats to consume content or to author content...

Looks like the ideas I express in our common JavaOne talk are not completely off topic: I'm in good company:-)

Very graphic, I like the dynamics of the arrows, which illustrate very well my belief that filtering syndication applications will be very important. I prefer it to his second entry.

This logo design basically shows how versatile ROME can be. I tried to use the colors of your web page.

Both hilarious and elegant.

The excellent RDF buff Danny Ayers wrote JSoup: a tag soup parser in Java, turns HTML/Bozo XML into well-formed XML.

I gave it a try and it seems to work: I tried the demo and experienced the same problem he describe (pat.rss is my feed with the missing title closing tag at channel level) with nested stuff, which is normal since it is setup in streaming mode.

java -cp .. jsoup.JSoupDemo pat.rss patfixed.rss
diff pat.rss patfixed.rss
411,412c411,412
<   </channel>
< </rss>
---
>   </title></channel>
> </rss>

But when I switched to non serial mode it worked fine.

java -cp .. jsoup.JSoupDemoString pat.rss patfixed2.rss
diff pat.rss patfixed2.rss

Today the Rome parser accepts only feeds that are well formed XML.
One way to make it more liberal would be to trigger JSoup whenever an XML parsing error happens, and then pass the cleaned up String to Rome again for a new attempt.

JSoup doesn't know how to that in serial mode, so performance will not be that good, but it's not a problem because it would be an exceptional code path.

Also this liberal behavior will be an option that you need to define. The default behavior will be non liberal.

What do you folks interested in Rome think about this proposal?
Danny, would you be willing to contribute JSoup as a rome subproject?
Because it is an optional behavior for Rome, and that JSoup can be used for other things than fixing feeds, I think it should be a subproject.
