I absolutely agree that providing such an RSS feed is a good thing (..., and that we generally should make better use of our News section, and other "PR"...) -- but I'm less convinced by the prospect of manually editing the RSS 'news.xml' file, duplicating in a (potentially) different format what we've got in the HTML News section. :-| Ideally, there'd be some simple files for News items (Markdown, or similar), which are then converted into HTML News as well as RSS feed. Obviously, there needs to be some consensus on what to use, and somebody needs to set up the corresponding machinery... Or do others think that manual 'news.xml' maintenance is not so bad (for now)?
