That sounds good. Perhaps we could run the script every hour or so.
Where would you suggest that "somewhere" be?

I think I understand what an external method is; so far I cannot decipher the
explanation of views in the Plone site. Can you point me to some examples? Or
at least a concise glossary?

That makes all kinds of sense.

No idea how pretty, yet, or even what that would work out to in practice.
