RE: [backstage] RSS feeds query
I've worked on a number of BBC sites in a content capacity and I have to say the number of times just the sites I've worked on have re-published large numbers of pages (or elements of pages) with just micro-changes (sometimes not even visible ones, ie meta-data) is immense. So I would question whether a feed of all pages that have recently changed would be of much value, other than for statistical purposes. Unless you introduce ways of splicing or specifying within the dataset of course; then you could focus on areas that might get results that would of use.

Re: [backstage] RSS feeds query
There are some screenscraping websites that will log changes to links in pages. These could be modified to disregard links that are part of the BBC page furniture, I suppose. Betsie does this, kind of, to a degree... http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/betsie/ (Warning: very, very old page) Of course, getting the content in state whereby it could be outputted to different formats is the place to start.

However, just picking one page at random, http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ - this has no feed but seems to comprise of a number of stories. My assumption is that you are using a CMS to do this - it wouldn't reduce the number of visitors to the site if there was an RSS feed, surely? As a big Drum and Bass fan then I would like a feed from http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/drumbass/ - if it were me doing this I would have a standard rss.xml file in each folder... That would be useful if you wanted a log of when a page has changed and when for example (meta about the page I guess) But for holding data I think the idea of using xhtml with lots of Microformats or rdf/a makes better sense. Yeah, but if you use iGoogle or similar to monitor sites, they are invisible without the RSS feeds! For example, I had no idea when the Guardian changed their home page design, because I never look at it - I use the RSS feeds from the sections I want (Media, Technology) so I can avoid the stuff I don't want (Sport etc). Also, RSS is very easy for search engines to index, and you don't get onto the add stuff buttons of iGoogle without an RSS feed. Type in drum and bass for example and there's no 1Xtra (sorry, BBC Radio 1Xtra). Others may disagree, but I'm interested in why The main reason I use iGoogle is that I have six or seven PCs that I use over the days - a few servers, PCs in different offices, laptops etc - iGoogle allows me to keep my stuff in one place and access it as I require.

RE: [backstage] RSS feeds query
There's no doubt that a rss feed for logical queries like /worldservice/news/caribbean/weather/ would make a lot of sense but as Jason was highlighting, different parts of the BBC are at different stages and any pan BBC project to unite all would be troublesome at best. If you also times in the fact most people still don't fully get RSS any work in this area would be low on the priority list. Now that's the negative side out the way. Things will get better, our bbc 2.0 project will bring the cms's closer together or at least form a layer in between so it won't matter. Also the use of RSS is growing and with stuff like igoogle, particls, etc. We're seeing lots more use of RSS without it being asked for by name. RSS is becoming part of the fabric of the web. And I just want to add RSS on a mobile phone with unlimited (1gig limit) is awesome.

Not every page! However, just picking one page at random, http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ - this has no feed but seems to comprise of a number of stories. My assumption is that you are using a CMS to do this - it wouldn't reduce the number of visitors to the site if there was an RSS feed, surely? As a big Drum and Bass fan then I would like a feed from http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/drumbass/ - if it were me doing this I would have a standard rss.xml file in each folder... That would be useful if you wanted a log of when a page has changed and when for example (meta about the page I guess) But for holding data I think the idea of using xhtml with lots of Microformats or rdf/a makes better sense. Yeah, but if you use iGoogle or similar to monitor sites, they are invisible without the RSS feeds! For example, I had no idea when the Guardian changed their home page design, because I never look at it - I use the RSS feeds from the sections I want (Media, Technology) so I can avoid the stuff I don't want (Sport etc). Also, RSS is very easy for search engines to index, and you don't get onto the add stuff buttons of iGoogle without an RSS feed.

Re: [backstage] RSS feeds query
It was mainly programme data that I was after and any news/publicity stuff that the BBC has on the show (such as renewals and so on). I realise its a slightly different case that say Dr Who which you own so have a richer feed for. Also (runs for cover with tin helmet) any links to watch it again type thing in the feed (again if these exist). Also is there an image repository or a department to contact to get images/logos to use o a page (with the obvious mention of any pages not being official and copyright notices). I'm just having a play with a few things to get a feel for a small project that I want to run on my own site. Thanks for the other link, Carlos, I'll hook up to the feed tomorrow. More episode information would be good though. Ian, I'll probably have a better idea once I know what's on offer and what I can do with it.
