=================== BUG #3614: LATEST MODIFICATIONS ================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3614&group_id=11
Changes by: Nic Ferrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue 08/26/2003 at 15:18 (GMT) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- Here's my plan for doing this: - generate 1 RSS feed for each project, include news and file releases (initially) - generate feeds as a batch job, have the files live on somewhere other than savannah (stops excessive downloading affecting sv) - have webserver serve rss file as normal (ie: with conditional GET support) Advantages: - we get RSS - we don't get swallowed up in a sea of aggregation requests Disadvantages - RSS files are outside of the savannah namespace (maybe savannah-news.gnu.org?) =================== BUG #3614: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: yeupou Project: Savannah Submitted on: Wed 05/14/2003 at 19:11 Category: News Mgr Severity: 1 - Enhancement Priority: Low Bug Group: None Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Effort: 0.00 Summary: RSS output of news items Original Submission: We should provide something like RSS output of news for each project. It can be easily added. So people can print news item from Savannah projects on their webpages. In fact, I even think that we should provide RSS-like item for each tools, so people can extract and reuse their data. So when implementing this, it should be done with that in mind. This is a RSS sample: http://linuxfr.org/~penso/journal.rss It looks like that (XML) <item> <title>Journaux</title> <link>http://linuxfr.org/~penso/2158.html</link> <description>Pour éviter des soucis, les journaux ne sont désormais possibles que pour ceux qui ont au moins 2 XPs. Ca évitera les défouloirs.</description> </item> But it may generate big traffic. So it should be tested only for news at first. For instance, the ml-donkey massive requests was getting news in this way (but with text files, not formatted XML). Maybe from the start it should allows only one request per hour for an IP.
