RSS Newsfeeds

[Forkboy2 27]

Just wondering if AVSIM has an RSS Newsfeed or has any plans on adding one?Looks like there was one at some point in past at http://www.avsim.com/pages/news.cdf, but it's dead now. Maybe not enough interest??Matt

I myself have searched in vain, so I guessed the current answer would be no. The second question is of course: would we like to have one for the frontpage news and maybe others.... to that I would vote yes!To those unaware of the RSS specification: without getting into all the details (including versions etc) it is a way to briefly specify a headline, piece of text and a hyperlink in XML and is commonly used to show a "What's New" of one site on another - or in a specialized RSS reader application. This enables one to keep track of an otherwise overwhelming number of sites.More: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.htmlCheers!Vince

I've just recently "discovered" RSS newsfeeds and I think they're great. Kind of like a customized wire service. A feed of AVSIM's front page would be great. I'm just not sure if Vince and I are the only ones interested at this time. If there's no interest then probably not worth the trouble.BTW...Simflight has one at http://www.simflight.com/news5/backend.phpMatt

This may happen in the new year. No promises though. :)--M
