The server building the pages for RubyMine has been suffering severe
network downs for the whole summer. Therefore I haven't been trying to
do much for the site development.

I'm expecting things to get better after some time as the administrator
of the machine gets back in business. (Anybody would like to give me
unix account on (over ssh preferably) on a machine which sits on the net
all the time and doesn't mind too much the load I generate?)

Anyways, I have a script that spiders through the RAA web pages at
ruby-lang.org and parses the useful information out of them. Then it
builds some XML content for the alternative RAA view in Rubymine.org and
the sidebar for the front-page.

It won't be too big thing to produce something akin to RSS stream for
RAA. It's basically the sidebar I have already. But the RSS spec's max
width e tc. won't be honored without extra coding.

But, the whole RAA database gets published as Marshalled file at
ruby-lang.org. I can't recall the URL nor invent it right now, nor can I
say if it's done still. But if it's there, it shouldn't be much of an
exercise to write a small script reading it in and writing proper RSS
out. 

ruby-lang.org admins?

Once I manage to get the whole site back up and running I can post the
url for the RAA-RSS here. Ok?
