[Zope] importing RSS files (SiteSummary product)

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I'm afraid I've bumped into the limit of my Zope and Python knowledge
here. Edd says in the README for his cool SiteSummary product:

"If you want your Site Summary to import data on a regular basis, you can
write a program which fetches the URL:

http://www.mysite.com/mySummary/importFromURL?url=http://xmlhack.com/rss.php

and adjust the url parameter for the RSS file you wish to acquire."

Now let's say that I'd like to display the news from Zope.org on my site.
The RSS file is at http://www.zope.org/SiteIndex/news.rss

It's obviously poor manners to get the RSS file directly from the site
every time the page is requested. What would be the best strategy to
display the news on my Linux-based server? I'm really not sure how to
proceed here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Tim
