Quoting Jonathan Rochkind : Good point Aaron. Maybe that's possible, but I'm not seeing exactly what the interface would look like. Without worrying about how to implement it, can you say more about what you'd actually want to see as a user? Expand on what you mean by "listens for feeds of

I know some systems (I'm thinking of CPAN and Gemcutter in particular) have feeds of new releases -- maybe we could tap into those and note when registered projects have new releases? I don't know if that's fine-grained enough information for what folks want. On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 6:44 PM, Jonat
