It seems some sites, such as Plink, consolodate a feof:Person's appearances in several FEOF files by matching the mbox SHA1 value ( Read more... )

I have only spent about 15 minutes studying FEOF, and I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago.

That's alright, most good hacking takes place after bedtime anyway.

I have to ask erbkaiser February 24 2004, 20:42:55 UTC

Is 'feof' simply a weird misspelling of FOAF, or yet another 4-letter acronym of some standard I should be aware of?

AFAIK, it's just a typo of FOAF, since I haven't heard of it ;)

For whatever reason, my sleep-deprived brain turned FOAF to FEOF.

The problem with this is the simple load that such data includes. Email is only defined when loading full user information, and loading the full user information for this type of page is a Bad Thing, because it's a page that's meant to be spidered a lot by other people, so we want to save processing and loading as much as possible ( ... )

plink has more issues than just that... it's a very unintelligent system.

So with a user's given FOAF file, there'll be a list -- SHA1 encoded or not -- of their friend's journal URLs? As long as the FOAF file publishes a list of links to the friends they've listed, I'm set.

You probably want something more along the lines of fdata:
