Hello - ages ago I wrote prlmnks.org - a little site that lets you get RSS feeds to perlmonks.org proper. I have intended to make the code available to any and everyone to have a play with. Indeed I even created a project on sourceforge but then ran screaming at the horror that is their user interface...
Anyway the code is now in subversion on my server (?on subversion in my server?): http://svn.ecclestoad.co.uk/svn/prlmnks/trunk. It is currently read only but I am itching to let others go to work on it and improve it. Currently there is a bug to do with bad XML that crashes the scraping daemon (try DEBUG=1 ./fetch_node.pl 500633. I've also had reports that it produces bad XML. Both are probably encoding problems.
Unfortunately I really don't have time to look after it properly - please help! If you want to hack at the code then please let me know and I'll add you to the allowed users so you can commit. Please excuse the lack of docs - wrote it in a hurry.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
