Hi Charles - welcome to the list. Sorry about the bad timing -
GeoRSS.org is migrating servers, and Mapufacture is getting upgraded
as we speak (should be done within an hour).

I don't know of XSD's or XSLT's for GeoRSS. I think Schuyler Earle was
going to write one, but not sure if he did. I personally just do the
conversions in code. These would be useful, so if you do find them,
please share them out so we can link to them from georss.org.

Those are the two best places for information in general. Safe
Software has a GeoRSS primer & other resources:
http://www.safe.com/formats/georss/rss-primer.php
http://www.safe.com/formats/georss/index.php

There is also my Neogeography book ;)

This list, and geowanking are two good lists to discuss - or #geo on
irc.oftc.net, and #eogeo on freenode.

I'll post here when the sites are back up.

Andrew
