Inside3D Forums RSS Feed

[FrikaC]

I've implemented a RSS 2.0 feed for these forums. You can view it here: http://forums.inside3d.com/rss.php. It fails the validator because I put the posters name in the <author> field with no email address preceeding it. I will fix this soon (somehow). I've also created a little test homepage at http://wiki.quakesrc.org/home/ that aggregates RSS from Blues News, Sourceforge, Spirit of 85's blog, the forums, Quake Wiki Recent Changes, Telejano Wiki Recent Changes, and Func_Messageboard. Check it out.

This is cool. So it summarizes all the posts and news related to the community?

Hey, that's pretty cool!
My opinions:
Maybe it would be a better idea to grab only the topics from i3d? Actually it is really hard to find your way through this mess of information=)
The moddb feed should be reduced to Quake only in my opinion.
Do you think it would be possible to grab the planetquake-headlines too?

The whole idea is fantastic! As you might have read in this thread I'm planning to launch a new Quake newssite (singleplayer!) in the near future. I guess it would be possible to implement rss-feeds too. (First try)

I will try to make this new site/portal as easy as community friendly as possible. So I think some feeds would be a nice feature? Maybe simply some remark like "last 3 posts in i3d forums at 12:30, 14:45 and 16:26" or the last 3-5 post's topics or something? Just not to overload! Same for the others you've implemented.

I'm working on it.

I'm not so sure about just I3D forum posts, but it would be nice if there was a link at the top that took you down to the right spot, according to what link you chose (i.e. Blue's News, I3D forum posts)
