Is there a good introduction to those sorts of feeds anywhere?
I did set up some changes-in-a-given-area RSS feeds from ITOworld years
ago (I'd explain what they are better, but while the feeds still work
I've forgotten my login to go and get the tool's name :-D)
I'm wondering (and there are often hints, like Andy's comment above,
that such tools exist) if there are better/more tools these days to:
1) Keep an eye on all changes for a given geographic area
2) Watch for all changesets that use a given tag (obviously that'd be
too much of a firehose for some tags, but for others it'd help people
keep an eye on particular sorts of edits)
Cheers,
Adrian.
