Could you please explain > and give some examples? sure. most large sites use anonymous session cookies to track things like page views/session, if the user is a return visitor, and clickpaths etc. The problem/pain is happening when you download a RSS feed into your RSS reader that tracking information isn't transferred, and some readers refuse permanent cookies, making it hard to determine (for the publisher): - if you are a first time visitor, - if you read the website and the RSS feed or just the RSS feed, - what you are reading in your RSS viewer (as opposed to clicking through to the web page) - how many RSS feeds you are viewing from the publishing site personalized url's help a bit here. the idea is to have the publishing site not offer a 'simple' feed, but to offer a unique one which point's to our feed server. eg. on the page advertising the feed (eg http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/ rss/5262758.stm ) instead of displaying http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/northern_ireland/ rss.xml it would display http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/northern_ireland/ rss// so when people clicked on the link, they would subscribe to a unique URL. when the RSS/atom feed is fetched by the RSS reader the software would know the anonymous ID of the user, tying the users web browser to the RSS feed. The next bit would be the actual XML returned. the links it would provide the RSS reader would also have the anonymous ID embedded in the links and other spots, so that when a user clicks on something it would be able to associate the anonymous session id with the incoming request. There would have to be some UserAgent magic involved so that aggregators like bloglines and planets wouldn't be counted. > I think you were the Lucene GData Server (Summer of Code project) > mentor to Simon, and Simon is planning on continuing his work on > that project within Lucene even after the summer.

If so, would it make more sense to implement this in Java? I don't think it would have that much in common with GData. but I'll take a look again regards Ian > Otis > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Ian Holsman > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Sent: Tuesday, September 5, 2006 5:20:09 PM > Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] Fluoride > > just doing a ping on this. > is anyone interested in participating? or giving a '+1' to it? > > regards > Ian > > On 24/08/2006, at 8:10 PM, Leo Simons wrote: > >> On Wed, Aug 23, 2006 at 05:51:33PM -0400, Yoav Shapira wrote: >>> Do proposed projects by current ASF members need official mentors >>> and >>> champions who are different than the proposer? >> >> Good question.
