does anyone have any experience with this?
I'm just curious because I'm thinking of attempting to build one for my web standards class and would kind of like to get an idea of the difficulty so i can properly allocate time to building it. Also if anyone knows any good tutorials or examples that would be awesome. I've been looking at the Atom website and it doesn't look to hard to create the xml files but I am completely unsure of integrating a search function and catagory selection system into it.

k well, im thinking of doing this for my final project: ajax/php to add/edit entries to an existing atom feed file. then use perl scripts to check to see if the xml file has changed, and if it has, tear down and rewrite the page information in html.
of course this will require a cron job to execute perfectly but thats fine by me. ill have to run it by my prof tomorrow.

ok i think i've got it figured out. heres the plan.
the site will be based around an ATOM feed document. I will make use of php's ability to transform xml documents to html through an xslt extention. Then I will build an AJAX based rss reader of that feed as well. I also will have an editor for my xml document that, as of right now will only be able to add entries. The editor will be ajax based, it will accept input of the basic ATOM tags, and will send the data to a servlet which will append the XML file with the new content.
now to edit the xml file, possibly use ajax to call the servlet, have the servlet load the entire file as string and pass it to AJAX for display in a text box. then if i hit submit it sends it back in the same way as when appending........hmmmmmm
