Description

since google reader (which accounts for the majority of our subscribers) and potentially many other readers don't support multiple author elements in atom feeds, and it's a really bad thing to have the wrong author displayed, let's remove the <entry><author> elements from the reader feed.

my understanding is that it's okay for an <entry> to lack an <author> element so long as there is a <feed><author> element.

we've discussed in #332 the concept of having two feeds - one for readers, and one with extra info that we can use to build alerts, google scholar feeds, etc.

[PLoSRESTDevGuide] refers to a representation parameter that would let you choose between different representations.

In keeping with that, we're asking for the <entry><author> element to be removed from the public representation of the feed, but left in the internal representation (along with extras like volume, issue, citations, etc.)

this is a replacement for #477

thanks!

eric asked if it would be okay to have just the first author. susanne says that's fine if it's "Author Name et al."

eric also suggested putting the full, formatted, author list into the text of the <entry> which i think is an awesome potential workaround.

BTW, Multiple element authors actually breaks safari 3.x (and maybe 2.x) and shows no entries at all. I cannot even view the current production RSS feeds (0.7) on safari 3.

(In [3282]) fixes #499 Only one author per feed entry & use new mulgara data

Feed only contains one author now. The rest of the authors are shown in the body.

Also, removed use of FedoraArticle? as data should be in mulgara now. This should make things a bit faster.
