Slick RSS feeds for Dojo, WebWork, Struts, Selenium, etc

Dojo. WebWork. Struts. Selenium. Selenium IDE. OpenQA. OpenSymphony. All of these communities have their mailing lists synchronized with a Jive Forums installation that I manage, and today I made RSS feeds slightly more detailed for those that wish to watch a project’s activity without subscribing to a mailing list or visiting a web site every day.

Simply grab the standard RSS feed for threads (fourth icon to the right) at the OpenSymphony forums or OpenQA forums. Then just add &full=true to the end of the URL. The RSS feed you end up with is a list of the active threads, with the entire thread discussion included. It’s a bit “heavy weight”, but it works great with a news reader like NetNewsWire. The list of authors of each reply at the top makes it even easier to quickly check if a known expert in the community has recently replied, letting you quickly skim over the thread.

So if you are looking for an easy way to track these projects, try out these new RSS feeds. Feedback is of course welcome!
