Yes and no ... I am talking about being able to synchronize two sites, or
just parts of them automatically, and I think that it needs to be more
flexible than RSS.

What I want is that if I write an article on my site, my site will call
other sites that has me in a "syndication list", and then they will somehow
decide whether they want to publish my article. If they do want to publish
it my site will be notified.

When somebody writes a comment on my site it will automatically be sent on
to the sites syndicating the article.

When somebody writes a comment on a site syndicating my article it will be
sent to my site, that will then send it on to other syndicatés and so forth.

That way it will not matter which site you post an article or a comment to
they will all be synchronized.

Imagine if all Zope sites could do that. That would be very powerfull for
special interrest groups where each local group or individual could have
their own site, and they could automatically publish the content of their
own or other like minded persons/groups and vice versa.
