[Mediawiki-l] Re: How does MDC parse RSS feeds?

[Chris Earle (CBL)]

Hmmm... maybe this explains it:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MDC:MediaWiki_Extensions#RSS_Feed_Extension

Using  MagpieRSS and Mafs/RSS extension --- I notice a couple of mods of
that extension itself too ---
anyone have any good/bad experiences implementing rss parsing like this?
