Re: [Wikinews-l] RSS feed in Ta Wikinews

CSpurrier's tool needs to be modified. Link should not be broken though, it just goes to the feed itself, which is not where it should go. (It should go to the main page of project in question, or be configurable)  (Theres the potential a broken feed reader may not recognize entity references in url, but url itself is fine). You are aware that the feed is using english category names, with an english description, and ordering by last edit? (Specificly you are using a feed with the following parameters: Get 20 articles from tamil language wikinews in category Published and not in Category:Disputed Category:No_publish or Category:Brief, ordered by last touch (aka last edit, or last time cache was flushed, etc) sorted by oldest edit first, with the title of the feed set to "Latest in Tamil Wikinews", and the description of the feed set to "Wikinews, the free news source you can write. For more information, or to see all stories, visit http://ta.wikinews.org" ) (Normally you'd want to order by the date the article was "published" (aka the date the article was added to the tamil equivalent to category:Published), not the last edit date. Otherwise if someone edits the article a year after it was written, the edit date (last touched date actually, things other then edits [like ?action=purge] can reset this) would reset the date. This is probably not what you want. Also, considering this is a feed for the tamil language, one would think that you would want to use the translation of the word publish for the category, not the english word. Similiarly you would not want to exclude categories which probably do not exist on tamil wikinews. Last of all, you definitly would not want to order them ascending (oldest articles first). Normally feeds show latest news, not oldest news. Also If you plan to directly use the toolserver feed, it might be best to link to the toolserver instead of feedburner. -- - Bawolff Caution: The mass of this product contains the energy equivalent of 85 million tons of TNT per net ounce of weight.
