Mark Woodman asked the RSS Advisory Board some tough questions.
I would very much like to see a clear statement about the vision of the board moving forward. Since the RSS 2.0 spec can't be changed - as per DW - what are the significant contributions the board intends to make?

As a member of the board, I tried to clarify one point on the list, that is, that the board is responsible for changing the spec. In the year since I was appointed to the advisory board, I think we've made some great progress.
- Recommended use of the FeedValidator
- RSS Autodiscovery
- Made small changes to the spec where sections have become obsolete.
- Expanded the board to major players in the RSS arena including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Attensa and Bloglines.
I expect the next year to be just as productive. And I've already got some stuff in the works.
