I don't think we really need a new feed format.

Why implementing something new?

These are in response to James' original proposal for a new feedformat, but in your responses both of you seem to propose anothernew one, in gemtext and CSV respectively.

We already have Atom (or the inferior (so I'm told) RSS), whichare established well specced feed formats with parsers for manylanguages. These formats are designed for machine reading which istheir strength, and I think it completely fits within Gemini'sdesign of "radical familiarity" to continue using an existingstandard.
