in thread sending new nodes and replies per email

sure, but wouldn't it be more effective if the perlmonk server sends an email now and then instead of many users polling the site frequently ?

BTW: The xml generator just threw an error, id: 9497991b65983

    Send a mail to all monks if there was a new node or run an hourly cron job to fetch the newest nodes... /me thinks (statistically) fewer monks would use the XML fetching method and that it would therefor generate less traffic. Just a guess :)

    Ask someone from pmdev about that error...
