I am especially interested in whether or not this should just jump to Drupal 6 support. I'm not up on whether Views2 is far enough along for a GHOP project.
Summary: Port an old patch meant for Drupal 4.7 to Drupal 5 so Atom module could support views (http://drupal.org/node/70596).
Views is a powerful module for creating customized data output. A patch was created for the Atom module in Drupal 4.7 so each view would be able to have an Atom feed, complete with a subscription link and icon. Such a feature would allow website administrators to create customized Atom feeds for data on their website. Otherwise the only Atom feeds available are the front page, blogs, or taxonomy terms.
What to do:
1. port the patch at http://drupal.org/node/70596 to work with the Drupal 5 version of the Atom and Views modules.
2. find a popular and free Atom icon to use instead of the RSS feed icon
3. referring to the original downside #2 in the issue, just print the feed link to the view's Atom feed, not two feeds
4. upload the patch back to http://drupal.org/node/70596 for review by an Atom module maintainer
