[backstage] Idea: Calendar Feeds

2005-11-29 Thread David Burden
This was prompted by all the recent chat about Perl Monger events, meet-ups etc (but will also relate to the BBC honest!). What I would find really useful would be the ability to subscribe to calendar/event feeds in the same way that I do to RSS feeds. That way I could have an aggregated br

In response to someone's Idea posted on the backstage site, I've made some very simple Atom RSS feeds available that show what's on now/next on BBC TV channels. They are listed here: backstage.menti.name/atomFeeds available: * nownext.xml what's on now/next on all BBC TV channels * now.xml

Hey all, We've had a number of you email us to find out the details of our next competition. And we're keen to do another one, but the thing that we (well, I) learnt from the last one is **timing**. We originally put the competition out Aug-Sep, but we found that you guys were out enjoying yours
