Maybe one of the reasons for the "low volume of news/changes" is just
the fact that any update must be done editing manually some page(s),
and uploading it to the server, what I consider a boring task,
specially for busy people.

"immediately taken" means that Marius and me needs to keep manually
monitoring/checking FBSQL site everyday to know when something was
changed, and replicate this to FBNews.

Just look our "competitors", all of them have RSS in their pages, no
matter how many times it gets updated over the year.

BTW, I'm not trying to impose anything. I just commented my
own experience.
