I actually intended it as an answer to swrals post but I'm still getting the hang of posting.

I provided advice (and my opinion) on where to find sources of Perl news items to keep the amount of duplicate work of maintaining Perl News pages to a minimum. Especially since The maintaners of news.perl.org announced along time ago that they would be focusing their attention to use.perl.org whch would provide news plus other services.

If the newsbot reads RSS files it should be easy to get it to read ones that get updated right?

Why do you want to repeat work that others have done, why don't you help them improve it and share?

use.perl.org gets RSS feeds from:

And they're available for you to use too.

Sites that I think should have RSS feeds include:

Does Perl Monks provide RSS feeds for other sites to use?
