Awesome, we appreciate review and critique!

Wow, I've been asking for this for about 2 weeks now :)  The AstDocs
site recently implemented an RSS feed for SineApps (in my attempt to
start centralizing Asterisk documentation and news) and I had an idea
which I was hoping someone would be willing to tackle.

First, to answer your asteriskdocs.org RSS feed question, one exists.
Its a bit hidden, but you can have an AstDocs RSS feed from:
http://www.asteriskdocs.org/backend.php
I will try and make a point of announcing when new documentation is
released. No guarentees I will catch everything though. If someone
wants to monitor AstDocs for changes and the CVS list for
documentation (filter usually for README.*) and post to the main
AstDocs webpage, please email me off-list and we can discuss.

Now, back to my RSS idea.

What I would like to have is an RSS feed on the AstDocs site (its easy
to add multiple RSS feeds to Xoops, so that isn't a problem), for
bugtracker related posts. I would like two separate (getting better at
spelling that right :)) threads from the bugtracker; newly added bugs
and bugs with recent activity.

I already know a few people who are looking for this, but
unfortunately I don't really have the time right now to program
something like this. Its probably not TOO hard, but its just the time
I don't have right now to learn it.

Any takers?
