Feature Request

Greetings!

In XMPP, using PubSub(1) (XEP-0060), it is possible to store posts as Atom Syndication(2) entries into XMPP(3).

There are several XMPP extensions that apply it, namely XEP-0227 (4) and XEP-0472 (5) which make node xmpp:microblog:0 as a common choice to manage news for client accounts (e.g. [email protected]), yet a component account (e.g. pubsub.getpelican.com) may use all of its nodes for this purpose.

pubsub.getpelican.com/

|-- updates/
    |-- Sombre

|-- releases/
 `-- events/

pubsub service/
|
|-- node/
    |-- item
     `-- item
|-- node/
 `-- node/

I have made a script using the slixmpp library that realizes viewing PubSub node items as Atom XML feeds over HTTP.

1. XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe
2. RFC 4287: The Atom Syndication Format
3. Atom Over XMPP
4. XEP-0277: Microblogging over XMPP
5. XEP-0472: Pubsub Social Feed
6. PubSub Over HTTP

I am willing to assist to add this feature.
