IMHO we should not distribute this PHP code, but the
output as a single rss file, like
http://anymirrror.php.net/news.rss We should run
this
parser with a cron job in a reasonable time frame,
so this file could be updated regularly...
Jim, can you put this PHP up to master.php.net, and
tune it in for the autogeneration? I don't know how
to do that, and have no account at rsync.php.net to
set up a cronjob.
