hi derek, tim, et. al,

i spent some time today looking at vice and i'm intrigued and agree  
with tim (and probably derek, too ;-) that vice is the way to move  
forward.

however, i wasn't able to get it to work with the quills bundle and  
also not on the vice bundle itself, either.

i tried creating a feed for the default news folder. i enabled  
syndication itself at `/syndication-controlpanel` and added an atom  
feed (name = 'foo') and an rss2.0 feed (name = 'bar') at `/news/ 
configurefeeds`.

by doing so i get an error message, but that seems to be just a  
cosmetic glitch, as there is no error output in the log and the error  
message reads "Error   Updated on 2007-09-19 22:29:20.299021"

after doing so, there are no feed links visible and attempting to  
load `/news/foo` or `/news/bar` results in a 404.

just for kicks i tried `/news/atom` which gave me this:

Traceback (innermost last):
   Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish
   Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
   Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 42, in call_object
   Module plone.syndication.outbound.browser.feed, line 28, in __call__
AttributeError: feed_name

as i said, i'm intrigued by the possibility of using vice for quills  
(and also for two other plone 3.0 based projects that i'm working on)  
but i'm not sure it's ready yet.

at the moment it doesn't look like it's going to make it into quills  
1.6 because i only got two more days left and there are still 14  
other bugs left :-(

however, the most serious of those are concerned with trackbacks not  
working. how's that state on inbound syndication with vice? if using  
vice would solve the trackback problems that quills has atm it might  
be worth getting vice into quills, after all...

any opinion or help would be greatly appreciated.
