Hi

Since many of you are bored and I'm rusty in parsing XML (well choosing a module in the first place) here little challenge in the benefit of the monastery.

Once we have a script, adding new channels will be easy and ppl will have a lower entrace barrier to comment on talks.

So what's your most elegant approach? :)
