I'l like to be able to get a standard RSS output feed
from MyNewsGroups definable on a per newsgroup
basis to show as a news feed.

Example: If I want a news feed for a group like
alt.archaeology then I would request a feed
something like:

http://www.yoursite.com/xmlrpc.php?
foo=alt.archaeology?n=10

or something like that. I would be just as goo to
call the group out as ngrp=5 or how ever suits.

With alt.archaeology being the group and n=10
being the number of articles stating from the latest.

Just the titles of the posts would be fine.

An extension to this idea would be to perhaps also
the number of responses and if you want to get
very fancy the first 250 chars of the main post as a
teaser.

    I have written an xmlrpc script which can be used with
    myNewsGroups.
    It requires XML/Tree.php from PEAR.

    Your can Download it here:

    HTH,
