A new feature in Radio UserLand is an old feature in RSS, dating back to 1999. 

A feature request for Apple and Microsoft, and other OS developers. A way for an app to subscribe to a folder. I give you a callback and a folder. If a file is added, deleted, renamed or edited in the folder, call me with a path to the file.  

Dejan Jelovic: "Windows already supports this. See the ReadDirectoryChangesW Windows API method or the FileSystemWatcher .NET class." 

Blogger users with newbie questions should ask them on the User Support mail list. 

A picture named bush.gifYesterday I wrote a very simple suite in Frontier called aggyBaby, that uses the new aggregator XML-RPC interface to build a very bare-bones but super-fast static page of the latest stories from the channels I've subscribed to. I think I'll release the UserTalk code in the hope that someone will convert it to Python and/or Java. 

A little over a year ago Matthew Trump did an excellent tutorial for RSS 0.92, which is on the path to 2.0.
