Hi all,
One of the things I've been experimenting with recently is an app for hooking RSS/Atom feeds up to Diaspora accounts. It would be really great if we could set up a bot of sorts that posts out updates on new decisions, discussions, and proposals.
It would be really cool if Loomio groups / previous group decisions could have an RSS or Atom feed that users could subscribe to for this very type of functionality. As our community is largely driven by its users, I think this setup could be a neat way to encourage users out on Diaspora to participate in the decision-making process and stay posted about all the little things going on.

@robertguthrie my skills are just around data visualizations. I would be glad to help in this area.

@zack Ooooooooooh!!! That's awesome. I'll keep that in mind. If you'd ever like to skype and discuss stuff let me know.

Hi people following this thread. @jameskiesel has developed RSS support for discussions and I would love it if some of you could please help with the testing/QA process.
I've depolyed the RSS discussions branch on clone.loomio.org, which has a slightly older copy of the main loomio database on it. Could you please try to use your rss readers on some discussions on clone.loomio.org and report back on the experience?

Hm, do you have access to the logs on clone, Rob? I'm getting an error and I'm not sure why.

Really cool, thank you! the RSS is for new discussions. would be usefull to also have a feed for latest comments/decisions like they are presented on the group wall.
