RE: [swinog] Reading list as RSS feed
just to help : easy and do not ask for changing the existant :-) --- convert email to RSS: why and how source: http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/2005/07/convert-email-to-rss-why-a nd-how.html why: 1) It would be nice to consolidate information feeds from mailing lists to RSS feeds 2) Information search sites often supply email alerts for queries but not RSS yet 3) Convert comments on blogs posts to RSS so anyone can subscribe to the comments posted update: it looks like Blogger does not accept an email address to blogger.com so this doesn't work (at least for Blogger accounts) how: 1) set up a Blogger account 2) under settings/email/mail-to-blogger create a new email address 3) send your email lists or email alerts to this new email address 4) subscribe to the atom feed automatically provided by Blogger for any blogs. For readers like Bloglines that are good at autodetecting feed sources just pasting the blog url is sufficient to add that feed Here are some variations: 5) Create a Feedburner account that will convert the Blogger Atom feed into RSS and will provide stats of how many subscribers you have to your new feed 6) under settings/email/ in blogger put the same email you did for mail-to-blogger in blog send address. This will basically post new comments back as new posts in the same blog. This is good because it prevents you to have to create a new Blogger account but you will have to monitor more closely what kind of posts are getting submitted and delete if necessary. - MailBucket MailBucket is an experiment in alternative methods of email management. For now its only feature is a public email-to-RSS gateway: forward your email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have your news reader pick it up at mailbucket.org/slurp.xml (where you choose slurp, having checked that it's not already in use). http://www.mailbucket.org/ - MailFeed MailFeed is a PHP script that checks a POP3, IMAP, or NNTP mailbox on demand and returns an RSS feed containing the messages in the mailbox. This is great if you run a controversial web site that gets tons of hate mail, because now posting it to make fun of people is like, no hassle at all. http://wiki.wonko.com/software/mailfeed/ -- RSS tools: http://www.eu.socialtext.net/rss-winterfest/index.cgi?great_rss_tools 50+ RSS Ideas for Educators http://www.teachinghacks.com/category/rss/ -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Tonnerre LOMBARD Envoyé : mercredi, 31. mai 2006 13:36 À : Glogger Steven Cc : swinog@swinog.ch Objet : Re: [swinog] Reading list as RSS feed Salut, On Wed, May 31, 2006 at 11:29:30AM +0200, Glogger Steven wrote: well, i think RSS is quite a standard and there are possibilities to provide the swinog mailinglist also as RSS feed..

Re: [swinog] Reading list as RSS feed
Hi convert email to RSS: why and how Why do we need that? RSS is a unidirectional, read-only, non-threaded (as in message-threads) medium. RSS is anonymous, whereas Swinog is a community und subscribing to the mailing list makes you a member. RSS offers less features with less comfort. RSS is a fuzzy standard (use Atom instead!). So could we just stop the discussion? The only advantage I could see is that we won't get autoresponder messages anymore (until someone invents RSS autoresponders, of course..).

RE: [swinog] Reading list as RSS feed
hi ruedi What do you think of reading this mailing list as RSS feed? Good/bad idea? bad. how do you answer to posts? ,-) for me RSS is not a solution for participating in a mailinglist. if you want to have read only access, it may be an alternative... so you still need the mails ;-) I personally would very much favour this approach for the following reasons: - My inbox remains emptier/smaller ironic yes, you're right, we've got about 654'465'108 mails a year on this mailinglist ;-) makes sense ,-) /ironic - No problems with auto replys which flood the whole list well, as i said: mail will remain, so auto reply's will remain ... - Only headers get downloaded automatically. This saves bandwidth. i dont know, but i think bandwidth is not really a problem with that mailinglist, right? we're not (yet) at nanog's size ,) So, dear administrator, why not give it a try? Google, for example, recommends this software on the server side: http://jmason.org/software/scripts/mailman-archive-to-rss.txt i think you're gladly invited to provide an RSS feed for those people which cannot live without it ;-) cheers -steven ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
