Freshmeat RSS Feed

Created a Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net) user account in the hope that it would allow me to create a customised RSS feed of just the things I am interested in (Python.*). The only option along these lines that Freshmeat offers appears to be to send me email and that has got me thinking about a mail robot to receive stuff like this and shove it on my Python Desktop Server desktop. I don't want to have to parse it and build by own RSS feed but I could put an artificial entry into the news aggregation.

One of my long term projects is to set up a way to organise projects and to be able to combine project blogging with email and Wiki: organise emails into threads, add comments etc. I recently discovered the .filter mechanism in emix4 and I am only starting to see the possibilities. I normally use Outlook and anything related to Mail Rules and scripting has always been too flaky to be of any use.

So many cool things I could do if I just had the time.
