Never mind, I figured it out!  :-)

I wrote a shell script that downloads the Feature Request Summary web
page from sourceforge using my browser's login cookie.  It then rips out
all the ads and other unnecessary columns, removes all the links and
input boxes, and creates an HTML file of just the summary info.

Keep in mind, this is just the summary page (one line per request).  
You cannot click on a request to get a more detailed description.  
That's not going to happen (from me anyway).

This could be run in a cron job daily and the output make available
somewhere.  The question is:  where ?

Heiko:  Would you like me to send you the script and you could put it on
the devil-linux.org server, or would you rather I stick it on a web
server of mine somewhere?
