Calling for Comments - XML Feeds
We have been discussing creating XML feeds for certain data in our guild sites. We're still in the brainstorming phase trying to figure out what is most useful.
Before reading further you should keep a few design goals in mind:
1. We don't want to bog this down with security initially, so the feature should only deal with publicly available data.
2. We're not going to output everything just for the heck of it. We're trying to identify specific XML feeds that people could put to use.
So, with that in mind. Are there any of you out there that could envision using an XML feed for something? Writing your own WoW mod? Desktop apps? Vista gadget? Google gagdet?
What data would you need, and can you give us an idea of what you would do with it?
