To all the Geeks on the list:
ASA now has it's own RSS feed. We'll see how useful it becomes. If
you are already and RSS user, the feed is at
http://www.asa3.org/rss/index.rss. You will know what to do.
For those of you who aren't RSS users, if you click on the above URL
you will get a bunch of messy text (unless your browser knows how to
to deal with RSS, like the new Safari RSS from Apple).
You'll need a RSS desktop client for your computer. Here's an article
about RSS in case you want to learn more.
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html It gets kind
of technical by the end. Here's a Google page of some clients or
readers:

One use that might relate to the discussion list is that we could
post a daily list of active threads. This could attract other
participants.
For now, as you can see if you subscribe, we're mostly pointing to
what's new on the web site.
Spread the word. RSS seems to be becoming an important way of
promoting your site's content.
