RSS Syndication

[mvaline]

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.

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".

"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

Done. But slightly differently as the link needs to be domain neutral. Anyway, thanks.

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

Thank you! Those look quite handy.

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