I've linked to the file as the permalink. Each item can also have an "enclosure". For instance, if it were a podcast, the permalink would be to the web page summarizing the podcast and the audio podcast itself would be the enclosure. The item description would be either the same summary as on the web page, or perhaps an even more condensed version created just for the feed. (The web page at the permalink might contain an entire transcript of the podcast, but the RSS feed just a summary.) Since we don't have much information for the bitsavers RSS feed other than what's in the "what's new" file, the permalink, enclosure and description have some redundancy between them. What I did was add new links in the description so that you could navigate directly to the folder containing the item. I did this because it was something that I often wanted to do while browsing the feed. Say a new Tek 4051 ROM listing comes out; I often want to browse to the folder containing all the other ROM listings. Sometimes the WhatsNew.txt file contains a brief one-line description of the content. When that is present, I fold it into the item description along with the new folder links. For PDF files, I'm considering generating an image of the first two pages of the PDF and including a link to that image with a thumbnail in the description. However, this means I'll have to store the thumbnails and generated images on my web space and I'm not really sure I want to do that considering the number of PDFs on bitsavers. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
