[Zope] rss

[Andy McKay]

Actually I went one further and hacked SiteSummary so that it remembered the
url the rss is located at (rss_url). Then I wrote a quick reload method.
Then in dtml I wrote a method that finds all the site summaries and reloads
them. So my python script is down to two lines:

import urllib
print urllib.urlopen(..../reload)

Or something like that. It also means anyone can add news feeds on the fly,
check out:
