OK!
If I understand then.
I pick which online newswires, blogs or sites I like, I do an RSS thing
with it, and the types of stories I like or topics I want to follow come
to me instead of me coming to them. Thus, what michael's is asking for,
is an RSS thing from the MPs sites, so that digital records of their
activities come to ISF pages once a month along with all the other good
stuff that shows up there (
http://auth.ilesansfil.org/portal/index.php?gw_id=19)?
So a user would open the page, and once a month would get a batch of
political updates?
and if i am correct, there is chat about doing this RSS bit by electoral
district? So maybe we could track opinions, decisions, etc. on a map?
If that is so, then WhooHoooo! Sounds great!
