Description
Example
At http://www.brighton.ac.uk/centrim/ in the left hand column we have an RSS portlet feeding from the Freeman Centre events aggregator. Both Plone sites within the same instance.
Expected
The date of New achievements in measuring technology and innovation output is 10th October 2008, and should be presented as such.
Bug
The date of the event is misrepresented as 26th September.
(That's the date of publication of the object, not the date of the event.)
Environment
- Plone 3.1.5.1
- Safari
Change History

- Summary changed from /events/aggregator/RSS fed to an RSS portlet misrepresents dates, confusing the viewer to /events/aggregator/RSS and similar events-specific feeds don't yield presentation of an event's dates in feed readers
I'm maybe 90% sure that I have encountered feeds that do lead to logical presentation of dates within a feed reader.
On that basis, I'm changing the subject line of this ticket; AFAIK the issue is not limited to Plone (RSS portlet) presentation of Plone feeds.

feeds that do lead to logical presentation of dates within a feed reader.
The When: that's prominent in Safari views of http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/uk%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic is more like it but still, I recall seeing feeds that are more event-friendly. I'll continue to search.

Discussion at http://groups.google.com/group/p4a-user/browse_thread/thread/a5a5c509a503377 sounds promising :)

With thanks to Jon Stahl: I see a code suggestion at http://n2.nabble.com/Need-event-start-date%2C-instead-of-creation-date%2C-in-RSS-feed-tp1490372p1491871.html
Respecting Nick's comment in the same thread I'm changing the summary of this ticket and converting
- from Bug
- to Feature Request.

If/when PLIP 246 becomes reality in Plone core or as an add-on then there may be less demand/desire for event-centric RSS.

This ticket has not been modified in over 9 months. In another brazen attempt to clean this tracker up, this is closed. If you really, REALLY care about this ticket, please re-verify that it is still an issue on the current supported releases (4.2 or 4.3) and reopen. Better yet, submit a pull request to fix the bug and then close the bug properly. We <3 you and all of your effort, but we can't go on like this anymore. I hope you aren't too mad and we can still be friends. Hugs.

We have just run into exactly this problem using Plone 4.2.6.
The event start date is a much more useful piece of data than the last modified/effective date for an RSS feed of events.
Until further notice:
