Oh, getting the author is easy too. For some reason it does not show up in a
web browser, but it is right there in the return from the GET

Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Fossil Timeline RSS Feed
Well, it looks like I do not need any fancy RSS libraries. Simply send a GET
to <base_url>/timeline.rss and everything simply shows up. Guess that is why
the call it 'Real Simple'
But how do I get the user who created the event?

Joshua,
Shows how often I deal with RSS feeds! Now I remember that this is indeed the
standard place for them to show
I will have to look for a C or C++ library. Or perhaps Python - I have been
looking for an excuse to dive deeper into Python.
At a glance, it looks like the RSS feed does NOT include the username who is
responsible for the event. This is a snag. I want to filter out my own
updates, so I only get an alert when someone else posts to one of my projects.

That's the pretty standard place to find an RSS feed, actually--not
obscure at all... *if* you know that an RSS feed is what you need.

In PHP, I have used the feed reading classes from Zend Framework with
success.
If possible, please share the solution you come up with. This is one of
those things I've been hoping to get around to doing eventually.
