RSS Syndication

RSS allows me to easily and efficiently monitor a variety of developer communities. However, if I want to see the "Newest Nodes" here at Perl Monks, I have to open up a web browser and browse to the site. Has anyone ever considered creating an RSS interface for the monastary? It doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult.

That sounds like a good idea, actually. I'll get to work on one, and see what I can come up with. Update: Here you go! http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=30175&xmlstyle=rss. -Bryan Confession: You're right, I didn't write this... it's all a big lie. I found it here: What XML generators are currently available on PerlMonks?, and I actually guessed on the "xmlstyle=rss" part, but I think I saw that on a different node once, so it was an "educated guess," I guess.

Yes, the idea has been raised numerous times already, and there is RSS for at least some aspects of the Monastery. Please do a Super Search for titles containing "RSS" in "PM Discussions".	[reply]

"Newest Nodes" could have a HTML tag LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Newest Nodes RSS" HREF="http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=30175&xmlstyle=rss" TYPE="application/rss+xml" This would put a icon on Firefox bottom right corner and allow for a live bookmark one step click. BBC and Slashdot have it, this is described here Tiago	[reply]

Done. But slightly differently as the link needs to be domain neutral. Anyway, thanks. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

There is always this: http://prlmnks.org/rss-feeds.html. prlmnks also lets you monitor an individual thread as well, for example this thread would be http://prlmnks.org/rss/460767.xml -- Me, me, me: http://prlmnks.org/rss-feeds.html, http://scrpbk.com/~evdb, http://ecclestoad.co.uk.	[reply]

Thanks! I only did a cursory search for rss and obviously missed those previous discussions. The feeds work great.	[reply]
