Hi there,
in Connections it's possible to subscribe community blogs using rss feed urls.
Within an internal project we have to provide connections blog content to a internal news reader.
This basically works fine with one missing important feature:
The reader supports on the reading end the basic rss structure like the following and thus can also interprete a feed channel image url.
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>RSS Title</title>

However Connections RSS feeds don't provide a feed image parameter.
For this project it's important to transport a channel image with a blog feed.
The easiest way would be to pass the parent community logo details to the rss 'image' property.
For atom the property is called 'logo'.
A fix for this would not need any frontend treatment only the rss responses need to be slightly extended.
The fix is needed for Connections v7.
