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?
