Account manager developers:
as you may know, the next BOINC client will have a mechanism,
"Notices", for alerting users to events of various sorts.
Notices are delivered via RSS feeds from projects.
We recently added the ability for account managers to send notices as well.
Just include something like the following in your RPC reply:
<rss_feeds>
<rss_feed>
<url>http://news.google.com/news?cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&topic=s&output=rss</url>
<poll_interval>3600</poll_interval>
</rss_feed>
</rss_feeds>
The URL is that of an RSS feed,
and <poll_interval> tells the client how often to check for new items.
Use this sparingly: users are alerted via a pop-up when there's
a new item, and we don't want to irritate them.
This feature will be in the 6.12 client,
which will be released in a week or two.
