/me goes to look up that word in the dictionary...  I'm in Tokyo now,

Lol - I probably get into trouble for writing this but the biggest issue
in getting you guys some RSS feeds from the jobs site is that the entire
site runs on a Windows based CMS.  Our official hosting option is *nix
based servers, but the people who run the jobs site don't work in BBC
New Media & Technology... So when they went to commission the job site
it appears they didn't ask anyone what OS/languages the contractors
should program the job CMS in.

The biggest headache, therefore, is finding the resource to make this
happen.  We don't have ASP coders as we don't (normally) do windows for
web serving and so I'm trying to sort something out with an external
contractor at the moment.


Anyway I'm telling you all this because I think it's a good example of
why we aren't always as forthcoming with stuff as you might expect.  A
lot of these kind of unforeseen issues usually seem to crop up!


I'll let you know where we are with this when I get back from my
travels.
