Hi Hannes,
Sorry for the late reponse!

I fixed the links. IMHO, we can change the name later, sometime around
the proposal phase, because we may receive some more suggestions about
what we should call it.

Thanks for you support. You can see what I've already done on the
proposal page. Here's what we need to do:
- Complete the XML_Atom_Response class that will provide methods to
extract information from the response that is sent by the Atom server
(response code, content etc). This complements the XML_Atom_Request
class that is already half built.
- Create an XML_Atom_Feed class that will enable generation and parsing
of Atom feeds according to the specifications provided by the IETF.
- Provide methods in the XML_Atom class that uses XML_Atom_Request to
generate requests to the Atom server, and returns an XML_Atom_Response
object to the user.
- I've added support for HTTP Basic authentication. Probably, we should
also support more stronger types of authentication that Atom also supports.
Feel free to work on any of these, or something else that you feel is
important. I don't think we are allowed to use the PHP CVS repository
for collaboration right now, because this is just a draft. However, it's
just the two of us, so you can just let me know what part you're doing
so that we don't duplicate work.
Thanks and Regards,
