Oops, sorry :-º

I think the priority for catalystsites.org should be for rss support  
- one rss feed on the root should be sufficient initially.  I didn't  
see an announce to the list, so I assume that there's still no public  
svn repos, although I've noticed that *someone* has been fixing the  
code.

Once rss support is done I would strongly recommend that  
catalystsites.org becomes  the official site for sites running catalyst

Here's a moderately naive rss implementation, but apparently it's one  
of the few more reliable parts of wiab:

sub rss : Local {
     my ($self, $c)= @_;
     my $path = $c->req->args;
     my $base = Path::Class::Dir->new($c->config->{content});
     my $rss_data = $c->model('Content')->get_rss_data($base, $path);

     # this is view code which is in the controller really.  It could
     # be in the model, but then we would have to mess around with
     # ACCEPT_CONTEXT or uglier.
     my $feed = XML::Feed->new('RSS');
     if (@$path) {
         my $subpage = join '/', @$path;
         $feed->title( $c->config->{name} . ' for ' . $subpage  .'  
page RSS Feed' );
     }
     else {
     $feed->title( $c->config->{name} . ' RSS Feed' );
     }

     $feed->link( $c->uri_for("/content/") );
     $feed->description( $c->config->{site_descr} );
     foreach my $entry ( @$rss_data ) {
         my $feed_entry = XML::Feed::Entry->new('RSS');
         $feed_entry->title( $entry->{title} );
         $feed_entry->link( $c->uri_for("/content/" . $entry->{link}));
         $feed_entry->summary($entry->{summary});
         $feed_entry->issued( DateTime->from_epoch(epoch   => $entry-> 
{issued} ) );
         $feed->add_entry($feed_entry);
     }
     $c->res->content_type('application/rss+xml');
     $c->res->body( $feed->as_xml );
}
