syndication/ RSS feeds of discussion lists

[Andy Carvin <ACarvin@EDC.ORG>]

 Hi everyone,

This weekend I've been experimenting with a variety of ways to create RSS
feeds for discussion lists. These feeds allow Internet users to access list
messages through news aggregating tools like bloglines.com or amphetadesk.
They also allow you to create a newswire-like feed of your list's most
recent messages and add them to any website.  After a lot of trial and
error, I've managed to create two newswire feeds for my lists, WWWEDU (run
on yahoogroups) and DIGITALDIVIDE (run on Listserv software).

I've written a detailed description of my email-to-RSS feed experiments on
my blog, which I'd like to invite you to visit:

I'd suggest you read the February 28 entry ("Experimenting with
Email-to-RSS Syndication") before reading the Feb 29 entry ("Improved
Email-to-RSS Feeds") so you can follow the process in the order in which it
happened, and even try it out for yourself with your own lists and
websites.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think. Thanks!
