#72 *.slashdot.org/palm/ only brings up main page news

[Matt K]

Hi,

The lightweight PDA-friendly page at /palm/ only seems
to bring up the news from the main page, regardless of
the vhost you're currently viewing it from (e.g.
games.slashdot.org/palm/ has the first main 7 headlines).

Does the PDA feed only process the main page?

Thanks,

-- Matt.

pudge, do you have an opinion on how this should work?

My opinion is that we currently don't have sections on
/palm/ and that unless CmdrTaco says to do it, we won't have
them any time soon.

Rob, if you think games.slashdot.org/palm/ should show games
headlines, send this back to one of us (I nominate Pater :)

If you don't care, close it.

I'm moving this to the low priority feature requests. I
don't really have any interest in furthering support of
/palm/ and targetting them to sections. /palm/ is a rats
nest of scripted abuses against our servers, and I'd sooner
disable them then expand them. But if other sites want
sectional /palm/ they could submit patches.
