Nice script. Chalk up more points for Ruby. ;) One thing I noticed with the import is that some timezone conversion is going on (I suppose by Xtimeline). E.g. the "WISE retreat" event is entered as March 1, 1999 in the SIMILE XML but comes out Feb 28 9pm on Xtimeline.
Also, the end times aren't transferring. I don't think RSS even has a field for that. There aren't many events in the XML with durations, so it's probably not worth reimporting using CSV.
