That shows your respect to other people's work. Sometimes it seems the community doesnt consider novell/suse employees as part of the community.
He will probably come to the same conclusion I have.
no he wont. we want to go a different approach.
There are extensions to get RSS into wiki, but if you want to find out how to publish news via RSS from your Wikimedia wiki, you go to wikinews.org, as news is all they do.
They run an external perl script that converts the wikipage to RSS.
They are hosted here: http://jeays.net/rss.htm and also put on feedburner.com
sounds ugly
I think this will be the best option as we then have full control of the feed and it's content. (and can actually produce a valid feed) with various RSS versions, HTML inclusions, image inclusions etc. etc. Ideally it is run on a Novell server, so it is long-lived, but a reliable community member would suffice for me.
You could screenscrape the original html http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_News but that would tend to break with site redesigns. Though we could add comments in source to the page to make it easier for the start and end of the screenscrape.
even worse.
A better alternative would be the use the export page function and use that as a source: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Export/OpenSUSE_News
ugh
Firefox looses the linefeeds in the XML parse, but they are there if you view source.
totally valid behavior for XML parsing.
So anybody feel like some scripting?
