Tim Bray announces on his weblog:

[Atom is] cooked and ready to serve. There are a couple of IETF process things to do, but this draft is essentially Atom 1.0. Now would be a good time for implementors to roll up their sleeves and go to work.

In a separate entry he acknowledges the efforts and contributions of the Atomic Tribe who made this standardization effort happen.

Congratulations and kudos to the work group on a job well done! This is the beginning of even better things to come.

Next up is The Atom Publishing Protocol (web services API) slated for completion later this year.

What are your predictions for Web Syndication going forward?
