Acronym for Rich Site Summary1? (or RDF Site Summary?)2? (or Really Simple Syndication3??)

a form of RDF.

a RSS feed of a site, usually is an XML "ChangeLog" style file of a site, for instance SlashDot has http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss and this wiki has a feed http://www.wlug.org.nz/RecentChanges?format=rss

There are RSS aggregators, which take RSS feeds from around the web and do interesting stuff with them, like http://www.freshnews.org/ There is a GNOME2 program called Straw that looks ok - 'apt-get install straw' for Debian testing/unstable users. If you want a slightly modified version that supports the "Contributor" tag (as used by this wiki's RSS feed) instead of just "Creator", contact JohnMcPherson.

If you subscribe to JID:wlug@rss.rifetech.com then you will get jabber headlines every half hour from this wiki.
