Hi, it's me. Mr. "Still doesn't have a clue about Jabber". How would I be able to get Jabber Weekly News fed to me as Jabber messages ala the wonderful Al Sutton/PersonalBuddy Slashdot machine? -----Original Message----- From: Jeremie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 6:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Foundation] (jrss) Re: Jabber Weekly News FYI, since I had experience last week throwing the back end of jogger.jabber.org together, and since this came up in the meeting today I decided it wouldn't be hard to assemble a variant of jogger just for pure RSS feeds. So, in cvs right now as "jrss" and running as the service jrss.jabber.org is what I did this afternoon. It's very rudimentary and simple in that when anyone sends a message like: <message to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/http://demo.org/' from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home'> <subject>just testing</subject> <body>this is a test of the jabber rss engine</body> </message> and then they hit the php script (also in cvs): http://jabber.org/rss.php?channel=demo results in: <?xml version='1.0'?><rss><channel><title>Jabber RSS Feed</title><link>http://jabber.org/</link><description></description><item> <title>just testing</title><link>http://demo.org/</link><description>this is a test of the jabber rss engine</description></item></channel></rss> I also added a simple hack to the rss.php so that you can modify the default channel-level title and link by sending a body of "channel": <message to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/http://jabber.org/' from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home'> <subject>Demo Channel</subject> <body>channel</body> </message> and the rss is then: <?xml version='1.0'?><rss><channel><title>Demo Channel</title><link>http://jabber.org/</link><description>RSS Feed from Jabber by [EMAIL PROTECTED]</description><item><title>just testing</title><link>http://demo.org/</link><description>this is a test of the jabber rss engine</description></item></channel></rss> So, if anyone wants to use it to easily generate RSS for Jabber Weekly News, it's now easier than ever! I'm hoping someone will be inspired by the inadequacies in jrss as well as the possibilities, and I'd be happy to give them CVS access. I don't personally plan on doing any major updates to it, it was just an afternoon distraction and nifty demo :) Jer On Wed, 15 Aug 2001, Rahul Dave wrote: > Folks on jdev and members lists, > > I'm going to create a RSS stream called Jabber Weekly News, eventually culled > from JIG RSS streams.
